Mainly offering roof maintenance packages to domestic customers, MyRoofCare has just won a flagship commercial contract to maintain the gutters and roofs of Chivas Regal’s whisky distillery premises.
Not only that, despite getting into the Scottish newbuild market just under two years ago, DDMG Services Group Ltd expects to be roofing on 9 sites by early 2022. The new build contracts include working for Scottish housebuilding giant Cala homes – a longstanding ambition for DDMG Services Group Managing Director, Darren McGhee. The business also has roofing contracts with Barratt Homes. Taylor Wimpey, Balfour Beatty and David Wilson.
