SIX new jobs have been created with the opening of Murdock Builders’ Merchants in Lisburn.
MBM, one of Northern Ireland’s leading suppliers of building materials, tools and DIY products, has expanded its branch network with the opening of a new outlet on the Ballinderry Road in a move which involves an investment of £450,000.

A spokesperson said MBM had responded to the downturn in the construction sector market by increasing its appeal to the general public, while retaining its in-depth knowledge of the local trade market.
“We have always prided ourselves on knowing our local customers – both trade and the general public – and tailoring our service to meet their needs,” said Ann Morgan, Chief Executive of MBM.
According to Ciaran Sweeney, Manager of the new Lisburn branch, the trend to ‘improve’ rather than ‘move’ has also resulted in a different range of customer, with more women now seeking advice on changing or expanding their homes.
