Cary Group strengthens UK operations with Nationwide Windscreens acquisition

Cary Group has acquired Nationwide Windscreens (York)Limited, marking its fourth acquisition outside the National Windscreens brand in the UK. The deal took effect on 1 September 2025 and brings Nationwide Windscreens (York) into Cary Group’s existing National Windscreens network.

The company’s acquisition strategy targets platform acquisitions to enter new regions, add-ons to reinforce existing markets, and smaller deals to expand local presence. Over the past four years, Cary Group has completed multiple acquisitions across Europe, increasing revenue and extending its footprint in the Vehicle Glass Repair and Replacement sector, a market characterised by fragmentation.

Nationwide Windscreens (York) has been owned and operated by the Brett family since 2004. The previous owners will remain with the business to maintain continuity and support integration.

The UK represents Cary Group’s second-largest market. Integrating Nationwide Windscreens (York) is expected to enhance service delivery, particularly in the insurance segment, while consolidating the company’s position in the UK vehicle glass repair network.
