Online site for building supplies

A GROUP of former senior directors of traditional builders' merchants have launched a nationwide building supplies website selling more than 30,000 products.

Ken's Yard has been created by three experienced traders in timber and building products, Charles McLeish, Joe McConville – previous owners of MGM Timber – and Ken McLelland, former regional director of Buildbase.

Charles Shaw, chairman of 5pm.co.uk and a former chief executive of Invergordon Distillers, and Andrew Sutherland, formerly of Keyline Builders Merchants, have joined the board.
