In 1990 Keith Dawson, along with Murray Johnstone and the Bank of Scotland, took full control of the company and entered a period of sustained growth. After a further 4 years Line Markings Traffic Management, Protek Fencing, Firefly and Bridgecare were sold to either the trade or management, in order to focus purely on road markings.
In 1994 Roadcare was sold in its entirety to Geveko AB (Sweden) where it remained for the next 22 years. In the period 1994-1999 Keith Dawson worked as a consultant for Cleanosol (part of the Geveko group).
In 2000 Keith Dawson joined Ringway with the brief to restructure its road marking contracting arm and to oversee the construction of a state of the art thermoplastic manufacturing plant.
In 2002 he became the founding Managing Director of Euromark, a subsidiary of Eurovia. The company quickly grew to become one of Europe’s leading road marking contracting and manufacturing businesses, with operations in U.K.., France, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Spain and Slovakia.
In 2006 Keith Dawson was approached by the owner of Ennis Paint Inc from the U.S.A. to become a joint owner of the recently acquired Prismo Contracting Limited in the U.K., at the time it was the largest contractor in the country. This role subsequently became the Managing Director of the Ennis Prismo EMEA, focusing on material manufacturing. He remained there until 2014, building a sizable market share in the supply of road marking materials across EMEA.
In 2015 he became Chairpman of Highway Resource Solutions, a company focusing on intelligent traffic management and the Internet Of Things. The company provides unique solutions to enhance road worker safety and the collection of real-time traffic data.
Given his extensive experience in the road marking material and contracting markets across the world, Keith decided to use this knowledge to help foster innovation and collaboration in the road markings market. Hence, he repurchased the Roadcare name in 2016 and set about creating a focal point for the latest ideas and technology in road marking application and removal
Roadcare was founded in 1986 by Keith Dawson and John Gill. Our aim is to become a global authority on proving solutions for the removal of road-markings without damaging or scaring the road surface.
