M Markovitz Ltd

On March 1st 1935 Maurice Markovitz bought the present Commercial Road premises, from Tideswell and Millers Dale Coal and General Merchants Company Ltd for £1200. This meant that Maurice was now 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. The Commercial Road premises were converted into The Courtyard, our first kitchen, bedroom and bathroom showroom. Since then, Brian's two sons David and Robert have taken over the business, and developed it further to now include depots in Hadfield, Darley Dale, Buxton, Leek, Clay Cross and Wigan, three civils & heavy side depots, insulation & drylining specialist centres in Chesterfield, Manchester and Liverpool and a kitchen & bathroom showroom in Chesterfield. From humble beginnings, the company now employs over 200 people, priding itself in remaining a family run business, which we are sure Maurice would be proud of. Here at M Markovitz Ltd we are not only a builders’ and plumbers’ merchant, we offer so much more. We also supply civils, electrical equipment, timber, roofing, stoves and cookers, kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms. Whilst we cater for the professional builder and plumber we also supply to the DIY-er and retail public. All our outlets are very customer friendly and a warm welcome is always waiting.
