Barrow Raiders would like to thank valued club sponsors MKM Building Supplies for their continued support, having recently celebrated the first anniversary of the partnership between the two organisations.

Last year, MKM Barrow agreed a deal to sponsor the club’s hugely popular marquee.

The MKM Marquee, as it is now known, plays host to a large number of rugby and non-rugby events throughout the year and is also a key part of the matchday experience at the Northern Competitions Stadium.

To celebrate the one-year milestone in our partnership, we are pleased to announce that MKM Building Supplies have agreed to sponsor the MKM Marquee for a further 12 months.

MKM are the UK’s largest independent builders’ merchant. Last year, they proudly opened their 113th branch in Barrow-in-Furness.

Open to the trade and public, MKM have an extensive range of stock, including everyday essentials and specialist equipment across building materials, plumbing and heating, landscaping supplies and more.

If you’re looking for some kitchen and bathroom inspiration, they also have a stunning showroom and expert in-house designers to help create the property of your dreams, with a free design service also on offer.

MKM Building Supplies Barrow director Paul Curwen said: “We are delighted to renew our sponsorship of the MKM Marquee at Barrow Raiders for a further 12 months.

“Supporting the local community is one of our core values here at MKM, and our partnership with Barrow Raiders demonstrates that.

“The warm welcome and matchday hospitality that we regularly enjoy in the MKM Marquee gives us great opportunities to interact with our customers and staff in a relaxed setting.

“As well as being the social hub on matchdays, the MKM Marquee is a popular event venue throughout the year, so having our name and branding so prominent has been an effective way to establish MKM’s presence as the biggest and best builders’ merchant in the area.

“We are pleased to have extended this partnership for a further 12 months, and I’d like to thank Paul and the team at MKM for their continued support.”
