In the picture below you can see Jimmy with his first truck where he starting his first business in the joinery trade. This would later serve as the platform for JKM to be born. This company was originally called, Modern Building Supplies Ltd, Est 1979.
Established 1989
JKM have been supplying the timber trade in the West of Scotland since 1989 and it is our service and reputation that has allowed us to stand the test of time.
We felt that a market existed for a customer focused business, large groups had formed and we felt that personal service had been lost. JKM was established with our business focus being on the customer, forging close relationships with quality suppliers would prove to be our passage to success. Our ethos is that good reliable suppliers are a major part of the supply chain and allow JKM to offer the services levels our business was founded on.
There are many big industrial supplies companies out there but JKM, being a Independent family run business, we understand the importance of providing an excellent service to our customers and because we personally build relationships with our suppliers should anything go wrong then we can quickly have company representatives deal with the issues we have no Head office protocols.
This is the certificate of establishment of the company as it runs today in the office in Greenhill Road, from 1998 to date. We used to have a different establishment not far from here where its was JKM Joinery and Building Contractors and that started in 1989.
