History MKM is a Hull - based company and was established in 1995 by David Kilburn and Peter Murray. The vision for the organisation was to offer unprecedented levels of service by building excellent relationships with customers and suppliers. We moved into our first purpose-built site in 1997 and soon realised that we were not content with operating from just one branch. So, we set about expanding the company and developing a strategy that would enable us to move into new geographical locations. Our innovative initiative to give branch managers a stake in the business and an opportunity to share in profits has helped us to attract a great team of entrepreneurial Branch Directors. This has proved to be a key driver of our growth and we now have 48 branches across the UK – with plans for more!More
