Sutton Coldfield business pledges support to Birmingham City and West Brom hero Geoff Horsfield
The charity run by former Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion striker Geoff Horsfield has teamed up with a business which has opened a new state-of-the-art branch in Sutton Coldfield.
Horsfield was the special guest for the grand opening of MKM Building Supplies new base which has opened on Minworth Trade Park, Sutton Coldfield.
The builder’s merchant, celebrating its 84th new branch opening across the UK, invited Horsfield along to officially open its doors to the trade and general public on Tuesday.
And to kick off the celebrations and highlight MKM’s commitment to the community, the branch has pledged its support to The Geoff Horsfield Foundation – a charity which provided quality, safe and secure housing accommodation for homeless and vulnerable adults in and around Birmingham.
Jason Hart, one of the branch directors at MKM Birmingham North, said: “As a local, independent business, being at the heart of the community is vitally important to us.
"That’s why we are delighted to celebrate the official opening of our new branch with the announcement of this partnership to support The Geoff Horsfield Foundation.
“Geoff’s a real local hero, not just from his time on the pitch, but the work that he and his foundation do around Birmingham is absolutely amazing and truly heartwarming.
"The foundation makes such a difference to the people’s lives they touch, so we are looking forward to supporting them and playing our part in making a difference in the local area too.”
Creating 19 new jobs in the area, the branch provides a one-stop-shop for all building products, including heavyside, heating and plumbing, landscaping, roofing, electrical, drainage and civils, insulation and plaster board, workwear and timber, sheet and joinery.
It also boasts a stunning kitchen, bathroom and flooring showroom.
