MKM Building Supplies, a one stop shop for all things DIY, has branched out to Bishop Auckland creating 16 new jobs for the region in the process.
In line with its plans to grow its UK network, the Hull-based business is further rolling out its kitchen and bathroom showroom offering, as well as its array of building, plumbing and heating, roofing, timber, landscaping, insulation and hardware supplies.
Founded in 1995, the firm’s new base in Bishop Auckland has been designed to cater for both trade and the public.
