Our History

In presenting our website we think this is an opportune time to re-introduce our founder, Horace F. Clarke and we take pleasure in reproducing below, a drawing featured in the WEEKLY DISPATCH of 1898 on account of his ‘remarkable successes at swimming’ Horace was the son of a well-known auctioneer and took over his father’s business in the early 1900’s. The auctioning of agricultural requisites led to his establishing a timber yard, which after the First World War had become a builders’ merchant, called Horace F. Clarkes and in 1954 was made a limited company. Still a family business, four generations of the Clarke family have been actively involved in the business which occupies discreet 10 acre premises in the unspoilt village of Walsham-le-Willows.

The last 30 years have seen steady expansion and Clarkes now employ 100 people and run a large fleet to deliver their goods throughout England. No competitor can supply such a wide range of top quality products, from stock.
