MKM, the UK’s leading independent builders’ merchant, has announced further expansion of its branch network in Scotland with the purchase of Woodrow Timber & Supplies.

Founded in 1979 as Rowan Timber Supplies, the business officially rebranded to Woodrow Timber & Supplies in 2021 and has grown to become one of the country’s leading suppliers of timber, sheet, and joinery products, operating across three branches in Airdrie, Ayr, and Dunfermline.

The acquisition by MKM ensures customers in the region still have access to an independent merchant, ran by local people, for local people.

Taking the total number of MKM branches in the UK up to 97, the acquisition of Woodrow Timber & Supplies further strengthens the merchant’s presence in Scotland and follows both the purchase of Spey Valley Timber and the establishment of new branches in Peterhead and Inverness in 2021.
