M Markovitz Revenue and Competitors

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 our Courtyard Studios, which include a kitchen, bedroom and bathroom showroom as well as a Stove and Cooker Centre. Since then, Brian's two sons David and Robert have taken over the business, and developed it further to now include a showroom in Chesterfield and six more depots based in Hadfield, Darley Dale, Buxton, Leek, Clay Cross and Carrington. From humble beginnings the company now employs over 150 people. The company prides 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 and now provide delicious authentic cuisine at our brand new restaurant The Merchant's Yard located on The Courtyard premises in Tideswell.
