A LAW firm has been appointed to support a UK investment drive.
Bradford-based Gordons will provide legal services to MKM Building Supplies as the builders’ merchant continues its expansion across the UK, following a year of growth that saw revenues reach £1.1 billion.
MKM’s latest acquisition was a builders’ merchant site in New Milton, previously owned by New Milton Sand & Ballast (NMSB), taking the company’s branch network to 149.
Kate Tinsley, CEO of MKM, said: "We hired Gordons because we like their commercial and proactive approach.
"Gordons are straightforward, commercial and easy to work with, which fits well with how we like to do business.
"As we continue to grow, they're a trusted partner who can support us every step of the way."
The deal was supported by a multi-disciplinary team from Gordons, including corporate, commercial property, and employment specialists.
Paul Ayre, senior partner at Gordons, said: "MKM is a business that knows what it wants to achieve and values practical advice and long-term relationships.
"They are clear in what they require from us.
"That suits our client-centred approach.
"It makes for a good partnership."
MKM has opened eight new branches so far this year.
