MKM has opened its 100th branch in Bromsgrove, bringing the merchant to a sizeable 2,500 employees with branches all over the UK.
The branch opening will be followed shortly with openings in North Walsham, Lincoln North, Bury and Manchester.
The current growth of branches will continue at a pace. MKM’s unique business model is a central lever to its expansion, which gives branch directors a stake in their own business to drive performance.
Kate Tinsley, CEO of MKM, explains: “It’s about providing the highest levels of customer service by employing local people who have the drive, knowledge, skills and enthusiasm to deliver this from premises built around today’s discerning customer.
“As local people serving local people, it provides MKM with the opportunity to play a significant role in the local community,” continues Kate. “The Bromsgrove branch is already working with local charitable organisations to assist in their fundraising activities. As a business. MKM supports many hundreds of charities, local sports teams and community projects across the country.”
