JKM Move To Bigger Premises as Company Expands

Leading Aberdeen construction and maintenance firm JKM has moved to larger premises to cope with growing business.

The firm, which is a leading provider of services within the domestic and commercial property refurbishment and maintenance markets, has completed a move to the Greenbank Business Centre in East Tullos.

JKM had been based in Probity House in Cotton Street for 10 years but with a 15 fold growth in that time, the company had outgrown the property.

Its new base has twice the amount of office facilities and three times the amount of warehouse and yard space.

Earlier this month they also joined forces with North Building Maintenance, taking on their entire workforce of office staff and skilled tradesmen, as well as £400,000 worth of existing contracts and projects.

In recent years JKM has seen a steady growth in staff numbers and since merging with NBM there is a workforce of 71, with that figure forecast to grow to 83 within the next six months.

JKM Managing Director Jim Mitchell said: “The move to larger premises gives us the platform to expand the business steadily over the coming years.  The service we provide is very much customer focused and we had to expand our highly skilled team to cope with increased customer demand.  Our new premises also enhance the staff environment and we have strived to ensure it is environmentally friendly, using power efficiently and installing a number of power saving devices.”

JKM, which was founded in 1990 has continually expanded in both the property maintenance and commercial refurbishment markets.

They also provide emergency, planned and preventative repairs, operating an out-of-hours critical response service 365 days a year.
