Independent builder's merchant MKM Building Supplies has created 17 new jobs after opening a new branch in Stoke-on-Trent.
The company's latest store has opened at Trentham Lakes and is designed to be a 'one-stop shop' for the local building trade.
The new branch will supply a range of building essentials for roofing, joinery and timber supplies as well as kitchens and bathrooms.
The branch also offers a range of services including under floor heating, roofing take off, a brick matching service, as well as free measure and 3D design services.
The new outlet is part of MKM’s ambitious expansion plan - which has gained significant momentum over the past few years- after seeing 15 new branches added to its network in just over two years.
The Stoke-on-Trent branch is the company's 63rd UK branch.
Nick Allerton, of MKM Stoke, said: "It has been fantastic to open MKM’s doors in Stoke - our new team has worked incredibly hard to create an exceptional retail experience and we have had phenomenal support from local businesses.
"Our aim is to provide a customer service that is second to none."
Executive chairman David Kilburn added: "Our new branch in Stoke offers an exciting opportunity for MKM, there is great access and a buoyant building industry in the area. Our team at Stoke is very experienced and has an in-depth understanding of what trade customers need.
"Customers can always be guaranteed excellent stock availability, and an extensive product range."
