Jobs created with launch of MKM Building Supplies branch
MKM Building Supplies has created 14 jobs in Burton upon Trent after investing in a new branch in the town.
The Staffordshire purpose branch is the Hull-based company’s 61st trade and retail store, built on a 1.5 acre site on Battista Road on the Albion Gateway.
The branch offers roofing, joinery and timber supplies, as well as kitchens and bathrooms, with a 3D design centre, brick matching service and landscaping display.
The opening night was attended by Burton Albion legend Nigel Clough and club chairman Ben Robinson.
Heading up MKM Burton is an experienced duo of branch directors, Mark Palmer and David Jenkins. In addition to the 14 new job roles, MKM has invested in a new vehicle fleet operating in Burton and the surrounding area.
Mark Palmer, branch director at MKM Burton, commented: “We’ve spent the past few months putting together a fantastic team of handpicked, local people; our ethos is skilled, local staff who exactly understand and appreciate the needs of those they’ll be serving.”
David Jenkins, co-Branch director alongside Mark, said: “When it comes to builders’ merchants, there’s no doubt that consumer has a lot of choice.
“As such, we’ll be placing a huge focus on the customer experience, always going the extra mile to provide MKM’s renowned service, a fantastic product range and great prices.
“ Our team can’t wait to get to work forging those long-lasting relationships with everyone who walks through the door at MKM Burton.”
MKM Building Supplies was founded in 1995, and has since grown steadily to become the UK’s largest independent builders’ merchant; the Hull-based company has plans to further expand its branch network throughout 2019 and 2020.
