MKM Increases Presence In North East With New Branch In Newcastle

The UK’s leading independent builders' merchant, MKM, has opened the doors of its new branch in Newcastle upon Tyne, as it continues its nationwide growth plans.

The new branch is the company’s 121^st and has created 18 new jobs in the local area. This follows a busy summer of openings for MKM that has seen new branches launch in Chichester, Eastleigh, Wakefield, Wigan and Barrow-in-Furness. 

Conveniently located on Whitley Road, a short drive from Bellway Industrial Estate, MKM Newcastle brings together an unbeatable offering to the trade with a wide range of products from everyday essentials to specialist equipment, including plumbing and heating, timber, landscaping, joinery and more, alongside a state-of-the-art kitchen and bathroom showroom. 

The branch is headed up by Branch Directors Simon Best and Glen Nicholson, who bring with them a combined six decades of experience in the industry, alongside a wealth of knowledge of the local area and their customer's building needs. On the day of the launch, Simon, Glen and their team of specialists were joined by Children’s Cancer North – MKM Newcastle’s chosen charity partner. To mark the opening of their new branch, Simon and Glen presented Children’s Cancer North with an initial donation of £1,230 to support their essential work with children with cancer and their families within the local community.
