I am using a vba code that compares column "C" on two work books and concatenates the matches found onto one cell. I need to be able to add the first match to the existing row in workbook1 and then create a new row for each match instead of concatenating, copying over columns "B", "C" and "D" from workbook2 on to workbook1, underneath the original row in workbook1.

VBA Code:
Sub PGNewbie()
Dim w1 As Worksheet, w2 As Worksheet
Dim Cl As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Set w2 = Workbooks("Book2.xlsx").ActiveSheet
Set w1 = Workbooks("Book1.xlsx").ActiveSheet

With CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
For Each Cl In w2.Range("C2", w2.Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
If Not .Exists(Cl.Value) Then
.Add Cl.Value, Cl.Offset(, 1).Value
Else
.Item(Cl.Value) = .Item(Cl.Value) & "," & Cl.Offset(, 1).Value
End If
Next Cl
For Each Cl In w1.Range("C2", w1.Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
If .Exists(Cl.Value) Then Cl.Offset(, 1).Value = .Item(Cl.Value)
Next Cl
End With
End Sub

How about
VBA Code: 
Sub PGNewbie()
   Dim w1 As Worksheet, w2 As Worksheet
   Dim Cl As Range
   Dim i As Long
   Dim Sp As Variant
   Application.ScreenUpdating = False
      
   Set w2 = Workbooks("Book2.xlsx").ActiveSheet
   Set w1 = Workbooks("Book1.xlsx").ActiveSheet
   
   With CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
      For Each Cl In w2.Range("C2", w2.Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
         If Not .Exists(Cl.Value) Then
            .Add Cl.Value, Cl.Offset(, 1).Value
         Else
            .Item(Cl.Value) = .Item(Cl.Value) & "|" & Cl.Offset(, 1).Value
         End If
      Next Cl
      For i = w1.Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row To 2 Step -1
         If .Exists(w1.Cells(i, 3).Value) Then
            Sp = Split(.Item(w1.Cells(i, 3).Value), "|")
            If UBound(Sp) = 0 Then
               w1.Cells(i, 4).Value = Sp(0)
            Else
               w1.Rows(i + 1).Resize(UBound(Sp)).Insert
               w1.Rows(i).Resize(UBound(Sp) + 1).FillDown
               w1.Cells(i, 4).Resize(UBound(Sp) + 1).Value = Application.Transpose(Sp)
            End If
         End If
      Next i
   End With
End Sub

Would copying sheet2 after the data in Sheet1 and then sorting on column C do what you want.

unfortunately no, there is lot of extra data in sheet2 that in not needed in sheet1. The only common cell between the two workbooks is column c

Here another macro for you to consider

VBA Code: 
Sub PGNewbie()
  Dim w1 As Worksheet, w2 As Worksheet
  Dim Cl As Range, cad As Variant, i As Long, c As Variant, irows As Variant, r As Variant
  Application.ScreenUpdating = False
  
  Set w2 = Workbooks("Book2.xlsx").ActiveSheet
  Set w1 = Workbooks("Book1.xlsx").ActiveSheet
  
  With CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
    For Each Cl In w2.Range("C2", w2.Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
      cad = w2.Cells(Cl.Row, "B").Value & "|" & w2.Cells(Cl.Row, "C").Value & "|" & w2.Cells(Cl.Row, "D").Value
      If Not .Exists(Cl.Value) Then
        .Add Cl.Value, cad
      Else
        .Item(Cl.Value) = .Item(Cl.Value) & "," & cad
      End If
    Next Cl
    For i = w1.Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row To 2 Step -1
      If .Exists(w1.Cells(i, "C").Value) Then
        irows = Split(.Item(w1.Cells(i, "C").Value), ",")
        For r = UBound(irows) To LBound(irows) Step -1
          w1.Rows(i + 1).Insert
          w1.Cells(i + 1, "B").Resize(1, 3).Value = Split(irows(r), "|")
        Next
      End If
    Next
  End With
End Sub

Thanks Fluff, this unfortunately is changing data in workbook1, is it possible to only create a new row with column C and D being copied over from workbook2 into column C and D of the new row in Workbook1 and leaving the other columns blank?

In my macro, only the highlighted lines change:

Rich (BB code): 
Sub PGNewbie()
  Dim w1 As Worksheet, w2 As Worksheet
  Dim Cl As Range, cad As Variant, i As Long, c As Variant, irows As Variant, r As Variant
  Application.ScreenUpdating = False
 
  Set w2 = Workbooks("Book2.xlsx").ActiveSheet
  Set w1 = Workbooks("Book1.xlsx").ActiveSheet
 
  With CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
    For Each Cl In w2.Range("C2", w2.Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
      cad = w2.Cells(Cl.Row, "C").Value & "|" & w2.Cells(Cl.Row, "D").Value
      If Not .Exists(Cl.Value) Then
        .Add Cl.Value, cad
      Else
        .Item(Cl.Value) = .Item(Cl.Value) & "," & cad
      End If
    Next Cl
    For i = w1.Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row To 2 Step -1
      If .Exists(w1.Cells(i, "C").Value) Then
        irows = Split(.Item(w1.Cells(i, "C").Value), ",")
        For r = UBound(irows) To LBound(irows) Step -1
          w1.Rows(i + 1).Insert
          w1.Cells(i + 1, "C").Resize(1, 2).Value = Split(irows(r), "|")
        Next
      End If
    Next
  End With
End Sub
