Macdonald Henderson has advised Faskin Group, a well-established roofing business based in Paisley, on its disposal to Cardo Group, strengthening its roofing capabilities and expanding local jobs across Scotland.
Founded in 2010 by Frank and Karen O’Hara, Faskin Group has grown into one of Scotland’s most trusted names in roofing. With over 50 years of combined experience, Faskin’s approach has earned a strong reputation for excellence, long-standing client relationships, and significant repeat business.
Bringing Faskin Group’s highly skilled local workforce into Cardo Group will add specialist local roofing expertise and the ability to offer more value to Cardo’s clients nationally.
Liam Bevan, CEO of Cardo Group, said:
“We are pleased to welcome Frank, Karen, and the entire Faskin Group team into Cardo. Their reputation for quality, their hands-on leadership, and their commitment to developing people—especially apprentices—perfectly align with our values.
“Faskin Group’s deep expertise and strong market presence in Scotland enhances our national service delivery while supporting our long-term investment in skilled local workforces.”
Faskin Group will continue to operate under the ongoing leadership of Frank and Karen O’Hara as they integrate into the Cardo Group over the coming months.
Mr Frank O’Hara, co-founder of Faskin Group said:
“Excellence and quality have always been at the centre of Faskin Group. We’re proud of the team we’ve built, the apprentices we’ve supported, and the strong reputation we’ve earned for delivering work we stand behind.
Joining Cardo allows us to build on that foundation—broadening our capabilities, supporting more clients while continuing to invest in the people and standards that Faskin Group is known for.”
