Wm Clark and Son (Parkgate) Ltd has provided engineering and forestry services for almost 100 years and are one of the UK’s leading suppliers and manufacturers of forestry equipment. Founded in 1924 by the late William Clark, the company began as a blacksmith and farrier, with the repair of forest cultivation spades and hand tools and the shoeing of forestry horses. In the late 1940’s, William Clark’s son, Murray, began to design and manufacture a range of forest cultivation ploughs. Over 2000 ploughs were sold and exported worldwide and much of the UK’s established forests were initially cultivated with Clark ploughs. Wm Clark and Son also developed deep working ploughs for specialist applications such as salt ridging in Iraq, oil exploration in Australia, irrigation in Africa and sub-sea cable trenching around the UK coastline.
