Ark Wildlife had a rather unique beginning. It all began with cups of tea and chats over the kitchen table. Back in 1991, Ark Wildlife’s founder and Director, Sean McMenemy was busy creating wildlife havens at the end of customers’ gardens as part of his landscaping business.

Whenever he was offered a cuppa, he happily accepted (tea with two sugars please), and the subsequent conversations routinely raised the same question: ‘How can I attract more birds (wildlife) to my garden?’.

Having leafed through dozens of ‘bird care’ catalogues with his customers, they continually highlighted a quality gap. Sean collated all their concerns, from lack of choice to dubious quality, right through to the service customers wanted. He then set about creating a new business to satisfy all these needs.

Fast-forward to today and while Sean still leads us and continues to visit customer’s homes to share stories and drink tea (milk no sugar please), the company’s success means the business has grown to become the UK’s leading independent garden wildlife supplier.

The success of Ark today has been fundamentally built on a passion for wildlife, a commitment to customer interests, and a focus on accountability. We care about our customers and will happily talk you through any garden wildlife queries you have.
