The World’s Strongest Brothers and Scottish legends – Tom and Luke Stoltman – will be officially opening a new state-of-the-art builder’s merchant in Inverness today (12th July).
MKM Inverness, conveniently located on 1.2-acre site on Harbour Road, has created 17 new jobs in the area and is the first brand new merchant branch to open its doors to the trade and general public in the town for over 15 years.
To mark the occasion, Tom Stoltman – the recently crowned World’s Strongest Man, and his brother Luke, the five-time winner of Scotland’s Strongest Man, will be MKM’s guests for a special launch event.
Luke Stoltman said:
“As a local resident, it’s great to see independent businesses investing in Inverness and providing a service like this for local trades and the general public.
“MKM is a first-class facility run by extremely knowledgeable and helpful people, so it’s really going to add value to the area.
“Tom and I were delighted that we’ve been asked to celebrate the official opening and have the chance to meet staff and customers alike.”
MKM Building Supplies is the largest independent builder’s merchant, with the new Inverness branch marking the company’s 86th branch opening across the UK.
The branch is headed up by Co-Directors Mark MacDonald and Graeme Macleod, who have worked together for over a decade and have a combined experience in the building and construction industry of over 50 years.
Mark MacDonald said:
“Graeme and I have been given a fantastic, once in a lifetime opportunity to open a facility that many builders and other tradespeople in this area wouldn’t have experienced before”.
“For us, it’s all about providing our customers with a best-in-class service offering, in a friendly and welcoming environment, delivered by expert and knowledgeable staff that have years of experience in Inverness and the wider region.
“It’s this commitment to service and our family ethos that we believe sets us apart from the competition.
“We are absolutely delighted to be opening and look forward to welcoming customers through our doors.
“It’s an absolute privilege to have The Stoltman Brothers join us for the launch.”
MKM Inverness will provide a one-stop-shop for all building products, including Building materials, Plumbing and Heating, landscaping, electrical, drainage and civils, insulation and plaster board, workwear and timber, Joinery and Sheet materials.
This extensive range of products will be backed up with MKM’s commitment to providing a friendly, expert and first-class service, from estimating services to free same day or next day local deliveries.
In addition, the branch will also boast a stunning kitchen, bathroom and flooring showroom, offering a range of traditional and contemporary solutions to suit all styles and tastes.
Graeme Macleod commented:
“The opening of MKM Inverness is something both Mark and I are extremely proud of.
“We’ve watched this fantastic facility being transformed and now it’s time to open the doors, bring jobs to the area and provide a service to the local community that is second to none.”
