Builders’ Merchants Brings New Branches to Bridgend and Bangor


An independent builders' merchant is opening new branches in Bridgend and Bangor. 

MKM Building Supplies' (MKM) new Bridgend branch brings 18 new jobs to the area and is led by branch directors Shaun Cox and Jonathan Thomas, who together have over 80 years of experience in the trade.

With a strong focus on community support, the branch has already pledged partnerships with Prostate Cymru, Sandville, and The OddBalls Foundation. 

Shaun said:

“We’re not just here to sell materials; we’re here to build relationships, support local initiatives, and set the benchmark for customer service in Bridgend.”

MKM Bangor on Parc Bryn Cegin is creating 21 new jobs. Branch Director Paul Painter leads the branch with over 25 years of experience in the building and housing industries. 

Paul said:

“We are more than just a builder’s merchant – we’re part of Bangor’s story, from creating jobs to supporting Maes G Showzone and other initiatives aimed at improving opportunities for young people.”
