MKM Opens New Wolverhampton Branch

Independent builders’ merchant MKM opened its 135th branch, located in Wolverhampton, on Monday 7th July 2025. MKM Wolverhampton created 19 new jobs and will deliver expert advice, strong stock levels, and friendly, no-nonsense service to the city.

Located on Neachells Lane (WV11 3QQ), the branch is designed to be a one-stop shop for anyone working on a project - whether a builder, plumber, or someone tackling a bit of home improvement. Stocked with everything from bricks, timber and plumbing essentials to landscaping and kitchen products, MKM Wolverhampton offers free next-day delivery and a warm welcome from a team that knows their stuff inside out.

Led by Branch Directors David Wint, Dave Horton, and Dan Mansell [pictured below] - who together bring over 100 years of industry experience - all three were born and bred in Wolverhampton and are passionate about creating a builders’ merchant that truly understands what the local community needs.

As with every MKM branch – MKM Wolverhampton is committed to supporting the local community, with Ward 9 at Birmingham Children’s Hospital set as their chosen charity. Further local sponsorships and community partnerships will follow.

As David Wint said:

“We’re proud of where we’re from and want to give something back—whether that’s time, materials, or sponsorship to help local kids get stuck into sport. We’ve chosen to support Ward 9 at Birmingham Children’s Hospital, a cause close to a few of our team, and we’re kicking things off with a £500 donation and a launch raffle to raise even more.”

MKM Wolverhampton will offer a comprehensive range of building materials, with specialisations in plumbing and heating, kitchens and bathrooms, and landscaping. The branch includes a modern kitchen and bathroom showroom showcasing the latest designs and finishes, along with an inspiring landscaping display to help bring customers’ outdoor projects to life.

The branch also features MKM’s first Ocean Air Renewables area - a dedicated space to support customers with sustainable heating and energy solutions.

MKM Wolverhampton introduces the company’s first-ever ‘Fast Lane’ drive-thru warehouse. With two vehicle entrances, the Fast Lane is designed to speed up service, reduce waiting times and cut out unnecessary manual handling. MKM team members will load vehicles directly, improving safety on site, reducing congestion, and delivering a quick, professional and smooth experience—all designed with tradespeople in mind.

Dan Mansell explained:

“We’ve worked in this trade a long time—helping customers, loading wagons, sorting stock—and we know what works. MKM gives us the freedom to bring that proper, personal service back. We’re about no faff—just decent stock, knowledgeable people, and quick turnarounds.”

Inside, the branch boasts a large, well-stocked shop, featuring top brands including Scruffs workwear, Ox Tools, power tools and site essentials—ensuring customers can pick up everything they need in one place.

Dan added:

“This city’s full of grafters—builders, plumbers, people doing up their homes. We’re here to make their lives easier. Whether it’s sorting materials, setting up trade accounts or just putting the kettle on, we’ll always go that bit further.”

Inside the branch, customers will find a specialist plumbing team, knowledgeable kitchen and bathroom experts, and a team that has collectively worked in the building trade for over 150 years. The showroom includes a dedicated trade bathroom display, and whether you’re looking for advice on a new heating pack or matching up a tricky brick sample, the team is there to help.

Dave Horton said:

“We’re not tied down by corporate restrictions—we make all our decisions locally, so we can respond quickly and keep things flexible. That’s what sets MKM apart.”

The new branch includes a 5,000 sq ft covered warehouse and carries trusted brands like Worcester Bosch, Wienerberger, Makita, Roca, Symphony Kitchens, and Ocean Air Renewables. With an extensive fleet, including three HGV crane wagons and a transit van, with free local delivery as standard, same-day deliveries are possible too.

For the community’s trade customers, MKM Wolverhampton will offer dedicated account management, discounts on bulk orders, priority delivery slots, and plenty of good brews - plus free sausage baps or sausage rolls every Wednesday and Friday for spending customers. There’s even a dartboard next to the power tools display, so you might hit a 180 while you wait for your order.

David Wint summed it up:

“We’ve built this branch with Wolverhampton in mind from day one. Local faces, the knowledge to help you get the job done, and the stock you need. No messing about. We’re here to make life easier for every customer who comes in.”

“Plenty of merchants talk about branches of the future and evolution like it’s something novel, but we’re always evolving, always improving. Every new branch is another chance to be better. That’s just how we do things at MKM.”
