MKM Skelton-in-Cleveland officially opened its doors in late November, having moved from a Redcar-based facility to a new site that offers a larger service offering including timber cutting and a ‘unique landscaping portfolio’.
Former Middlesbrough and Premier League footballer Colin Cooper helped officially open the branch alongside charity Zoë’s Place Middlesbrough, with the latter receiving an initial donation of £1,000 to celebrate the launch of a new ongoing partnership with the branch, strengthening its ties to the local community.
“Moving to our new facility better helps us serve our customer base and its diverse needs,” said Scott McCabe, Director, MKM Skelton. “The additional services we’re able to offer in timber cutting, landscaping and more, really helps tradespeople in the area secure all the tools for multiple jobs from a single trusted partner. Furthermore, I’m happy to launch our call and collect service, being one of the first MKM branches to do so, whereby customers can call up and order stock over the phone, then collect it and drive away in seconds to save precious time during ongoing jobs.”
Scott continued: “A special thanks also, to Zoë’s Place Middlesbrough and Colin Cooper, who helped make our opening at the new location extremely successful. The turnout was excellent, and we will work hard to ensure we build on our early success.”
Kate Tinsley, CEO of MKM Building Supplies, added: “The relocation of our Redcar branch to Skelton-in-Cleveland was vital to ensure MKM was best serving its customers in the Cleveland and Teesside area. As the largest independent builders’ merchant in the country, we place real value on outstanding service and pride ourselves on the excellent knowledge of the local areas that surround each of our branches.
“This example is no different and is why timber and landscaping services especially needed to be upgraded at a larger site to facilitate this growth in offering. I wish MKM Skelton all the best going forward and am confident they will provide the best quality service to their evolving community.”
