Independent builders’ merchant MKM Building Supplies has purchased Spey Valley Timber & Builders Merchants for an undisclosed sum. This follows a period of growth in Scotland for the supplier, bringing its Scottish network to 17 branches.
The acquisition ensures customers throughout Aviemore and the wider Scottish Highlands, which Spey Valley Timber & Builders Merchants has been operating in since the 1980s, still have access to an independent merchant, bolstered by MKM’s product range.
Brian MacDonald, managing director of Spey Valley Timber & Builders Merchants, said: “Crucially, the partnership will further strengthen our offering to the region. This is fantastic news for tradespeople here, as it means they can get an even wider range of first-rate products, all under one roof.”
Kate Tinsley, chief executive of MKM Building Supplies, added: “The acquisition of Spey Valley Timber & Builders Merchants marks an important step forward for our operations in Scotland. With a shared focus on customer service excellence and providing unparalleled choice, we’re delighted to welcome the branch to MKM’s growing network.”
