Andrew Pine, New branch Development Director of MKM Building Supplies commented:

Our unique business model allows us to react quickly to opportunities and expand in line with the company’s wider business objectives.

The move to Corby presents great opportunities for MKM and the local area. Not only does it offer an affordable and commercially viable trading location, but the towns industrial heritage is a perfect fit for our product offer and industry expertise.

We aim to be a ‘one stop shop’ for all your building, timber, plumbing & heating and roofing supplies, and stock a wide range of products from the industry’s leading manufacturers – all at competitive prices. We will also be showcasing a stunning Kitchen & Bathroom showroom and Landscaping display.

With high levels of stock held on-site we ensure both our customers in the building trade and the general public can get what they need, when they need it. We also offer a free, reliable local delivery service to help your projects run smoothly.

We plan to be on-site and fitting out the new unit by the end of Q3 2020.

James Richards, Development Director – Clowes Developments commented:

All things considered, a global pandemic, adverse weather conditions and news of a fresh recession, we feel this deal leaves an optimistic line in the sand for positive things to come for the town of Corby.

Additionally, we are nearing completion on our new development, Omega Court where we have a range of unit sizes available for sale and lease, with 20% already ‘under offer’. Interested parties are encouraged to contact joint agents TDBRE and Prop-search to discuss their requirements further.”

Whilst the Business Park will continue to be built out and managed by Clowes Developments, the unit MKM has taken has been sold in a separate deal to an investor for an undisclosed sum.
