IT'S IN THE FAMILY

From humble beginnings, over thirty five years ago, Clarks Vehicle Conversions was founded when Alan Clark, a bench-hand joiner from Doncaster, decided to “go it alone”.

In 1985, Alan began Ply-lining vehicles from a small workshop in the back of a local builders’ merchants. Within a decade, he had grown the company exponentially and was joined in the workshop by his son, Paul Clark and Brett Harrop.

As of today, Paul and Brett are Directors and still as passionate about quality craftsmanship and the continued progression of Clarks as they were when they first started, as such they appointed Darren Lord as Managing Director in 2015 to take the business to the next level.

Clarks continues to grow, develop and invest in technology and its teams, expertly transforming thousands of vehicles every year, all whilst staying dedicated to its roots and values.

CAPABILITY AND CAPACITY

From traditional hand tools to industry leading automated technology, Clarks has come a long way from that small workshop in 1985, moving on numerous occasions to accommodate growth.

Since 2011 Clarks has resided in our 4,000m2 central conversion centre and storage facilities in Doncaster.

Our site homes our 100+ workforce along with space for 400 vehicles at any one time and with 24 hour production capabilities there really is no other converter that compares.
