History

100 YEARS OF SERVICE

THE ORIGINAL TRADE SUPPLIER

For over 100 years K&D has proudly served tradesmen and homemakers across Tasmania.  The K&D story first began when Andrew Kemp and Victor Denning formed Kemp and Denning Timber Merchants in Hobart way back in 1902.

Throughout the history of K&D there have been many proud achievements including opening Australia’s first home and building warehouse in 1986.  In 1196 we really began to expand with the opening of the Glenorchy warehouse and we have continued to grow with the opening of our Cambridge Park Store last year.  This year will also see another historical moment for both Tasmania and K&D when we open our first stand-alone Trade store in Kingston.

We’ve come a long way in the last 100 years with the original Kemp and Denning store growing into K&D Warehouse, K&D Trade and K&D Bricks and Blocks.  A lot may have changed since K&D first began, however when it comes to offering Tasmanians the best service, price and advice, we haven’t changed a thing.
