The new branch will be led by Branch Director Patrick Chall, who is local to Shrewsbury and has vast experience in the building merchant industry.
Commenting on the opening, Branch Director Mr Chall, who is well known in the building industry locally and whose career previously saw him work his way up through the ranks at builders'​ and plumbers'​ merchant Boys and Boden, said:
“I’ve lived in Shrewsbury for over 16 years now, it’s a beautiful town and one I’m happy to raise my children in - to have the opportunity to lead a business in an area I love is a real privilege. The community is tight-knit, and I’m determined that the new MKM Shrewsbury branch will be an extension of that. To locals, we want to be the ‘big yellow building down the road’ and our customers can always expect us to be welcoming, helpful and provide the products and services they need.
“We’ll do more than just supply great products and give great service, we’ll also be actively upholding MKM’s well-known values to provide support community projects, and we’ve partnered with a local charity, Little Rascals Foundation and we’re in discussions with, local schools and grass roots sports clubs we hope to support, sponsor and advocate for.”
With a substantial covered warehouse, MKM Shrewsbury will supply tradespeople and the public with diverse stock and product offerings from prestigious brands such as Dakea, Birtley, Unilin. Sodra imported carcassing and Vandersanden bricks. The branch will also house a stunning MKM kitchen and bathroom showroom, with state-of-the-art displays to inspire customers.
Mr Chall continued,
“MKM Shrewsbury is going to be a stunning new merchant set in the best location in town. If it’s inspiration customers’ are after, our kitchen and bathroom showroom is unlike anything you’ll find in any other builders’ merchants. Creative DIYers will be able to create mood boards, and it’s the perfect place for tradespeople to point their own customers to if they’re looking to influence their build plans.
“I was asked what would stand us apart from other merchants, and without a doubt it’s going to be our customer service, expertise and local knowledge. The team we’re putting in place are the best of the best - selected for their diversity of experience and knowledge. Everything we do will be aimed towards giving customers a great experience. Everyone is welcome, regardless of whether they’re buying small bits for a weekend DIY project, a huge renovation project or commercial work. We aim to give trustworthy advice and help them achieve whatever it is they’re setting out to. We’ll offer same day and next day free delivery, design services, cutting services and special materials enquires are welcomed too. Our expertise in plumbing and heating is second to none and our landscaping display is going to be a real hit for those looking to transform their outside spaces. I’d love trades and the public to drop in and experience all the new branch has to offer – I think you’ll be impressed!”
