Builders Merchants Journal – BMJ Publishing to Builders Merchants and the UK merchanting industry for more than 95 years
MKM has acquired NMSB’s builders merchant, creating MKM New Milton.
The new branch will continue to be led by NMSB branch managers Matt Lock and Richard Froggett, along with the existing NMSB team.
Investment is already being planned for the branch, with the expanded branch set to offer 12,500 square feet of warehouse, retail and trade counter space, alongside increased stockholding and an expanded range across building materials, timber, plumbing and heating, kitchens and bathrooms.
MKM, CEO Kate Tinsley said: “At MKM, we believe local people know their market best. That’s why every branch is run by local branch directors, giving them the freedom to make decisions that benefit their customers, colleagues and communities.
“It’s an approach that has helped make MKM the UK’s leading independent builders’ merchant, and one that made NMSB’s builders’ merchant business a natural fit.
“We’re really pleased to welcome Matt, Richard and the rest of the team to MKM. We’re excited about what’s ahead and would like to give a warm welcome to the team, customers and community of MKM New Milton.”
