MKM has acquired five new sites as it further expands its national presence with the acquisition of part of a family business.
The independent builders’ merchant has taken on branches located between the cities of Oxford and Coventry from John Nicholls Trading Ltd. The undisclosed deal will see MKM add Banbury, Bicester, Kidlington and Rugby to the 100-plus network, together with a distribution centre at Long Hanborough.
Founded in 1965 by late chairman John Nicholls, the group has grown significantly over the years from the Banbury base to more than 25 sites covering Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Northamptonshire and Dorset. All MKM’s additions are in Oxfordshire, with the exception of Rugby, which sits in Warwickshire.
