13 new jobs created as Hull’s MKM Building Supplies launches 45th branch in Galashiels

MKM Building Supplies, the Hull-based independent builders’ merchant, has created 13 new jobs after expanding into Galashiels, Scotland, with the launch of its 45th branch.

The new branch will house MKM’s product portfolio, catering to trades as well as the general public.

This will include building, plumbing, joinery, heating, insulation and plasterboard offerings as well as underground drainage.

MKM Galashiels will contain a timber and joinery service as well as kitchen and bathroom showrooms, overseen by experienced design specialists.

The addition of high-spec showrooms is helping to secure MKM’s position within the interior design market.

Bob Hogarth, branch director at the Netherdale Industrial Estate site, said: “The team here are delighted to have the opportunity to show everyone in Galashiels and the surrounding area what MKM is all about.

“MKM has developed a reputation for championing the customer experience and we are all thrilled to have to chance to bring that to this area.

“We’re excited to be at the forefront of MKM’s national expansion.”
