We cater for the professional builder and plumber as well as for the DIY-er and retail public and all our branches have a warm welcome waiting. On March 1st 1935 Maurice Markovitz bought the present Commercial Road premises, from Tideswell and Millers Dale Coal and General Merchants Company Ltd for £1,200, which meant that he was then able to branch out into supplying building materials. Maurice never married. His nephew Brian joined him at Commercial Road in 1953 further developing the business. In 1995 Brian re-located to larger premises on Richard Lane in Tideswell and the Commercial Road premises were converted into 'The Courtyard'; a luxury kitchen, bedroom and bathroom showroom. Since then, Brian's two sons David and Robert have taken over the business, and further developed it to now include a kitchen and bathroom showroom in Chesterfield and seven more depots offering a range of builders' and plumbers' merchants and civils' services.
