MKM Building Supplies at Ketley Business Park

MKM Building Supplies has officially opened its new branch at Ketley Business Park.

With building supplies, timber, plumbing, heating and more, the new branch aims to act as a 'one stop shop' for both the general public as well as the trades.

Branch director Paul Tarr said: "I'm absolutely delighted to be opening our new branch in Telford. Despite now being 53-strong throughout the country, this is MKM's first in the wider area.

"We've handpicked a fantastic, skilled team of local people – everyone's raring to show the trades and public what MKM is all about. We can't wait to start welcoming customers in-branch for a coffee and a chat about their next project."

Private landowner and remediation specialist Parkhill Estates signed up MKM Building Supplies for the new trade unit.

Sam Cornes, CEO of Parkhill Estates, said: "This deal with MKM demonstrates our ability to deliver the right product in the right location for the right occupier and we are sure they will be a valuable addition to the current tenant line-up."
