MKM Barrow-in-Furness officially opens its doors

 

MKM Barrow-in-Furness, a purpose built facility conveniently located on Park Road on the outskirts of the town, provides an extensive range of building matertials, from the everyday essentials to specialist equipment, including plumbing and heating, timber, landscaping, joinery and more.

 

The branch, which has created 24 new jobs for the local area, also boasts a stunning kitchen and bathroom showroom, as well as an outdoor landscaping display, showcasing all the latest designs and trends to inspire homeowners.

To mark the grand opening, Branch Directors Paul Curwen and Mark Kendall invited local charity St Mary’s Hospice to cut the ribbon and officially declare the branch open.

 

The branch and its team are committed to supporting the local community, making an initial donation of £2000 to the hospice, which provides essential care and comfort for patients living with life-shortening illnesses or long term conditions.

 

Paul Curwen, Branch Director at MKM Barrow-in-Furness, said: “We are absolutelty delighted to have opened our doors to the trade and general public in Barrow.

 

“Our aim is simple, we want to build a brand and a level of customer service that we know the town deserves.  We have an amazing team with an unrivalled level of experience in this area so we are looking forward to serving the community, whatever their building needs!

 

“As part of this, it’s absolutely critical for us as a local independent business that we forge close links with the local community.  That’s why we are supporting St Mary’s Hospice – a charity that is very much close to our hearts and does an amazing job supporting people and their families across Barrow and the wider area.”

 

Barrow-in-Furness born and bred, Branch Director’s Paul and Mark bring decades of experience in the merchanting industry and of the local area. 

 

Mark Kendall continued: “We are committed to providing an outstanding level of service that people in this area wouldn’t have experienced before.  That’s what MKM is all about, having the best people with extensive product knowledge looking after the best interests of our customers in a friendly and welcoming environment. “In addition to our extensive product offering, we also offer a range of first class services, from free same day or next day delivery, to free kitchen and bathroom design services.”

 

Annabelle Holloway, Area Fundraising Manager for St Mary’s Hospice, said: “We are incredibly grateful that MKM has chosen us as their charity partner and were delighted to attend the grand opening event.  MKM is a perfect example of a large, well-known business going out of their way to support local charities in the communities they operate within. 

“St Mary’s receives only 22% of our funding from the NHS which means that the care of roughly 8 out of 10 of our patients is funded by people and businesses in our local area.  On behalf of everyone at St Mary’s Hospice, we’d like to offer a wholehearted thank you to MKM.”
