About Us
Helpful – Caring – Responsible
At Ark Wildlife, our story is rooted in an unrelenting passion for doing right by nature. Over 30-years ago, I started this journey with a simple yet profound vision: to make wildlife thrive while building a business that embodies integrity, care, and purpose. What began as a small idea has grown into one of the largest independent suppliers of wildlife products in the UK—driven not by profit, but by a deep-seated belief that businesses can and must work in harmony with the natural world.
My commitment to nature has shaped every decision we’ve made. From formulating premium, science-backed bird foods to designing sustainable, eco-friendly packaging, everything we do is guided by a desire to support wildlife in the best way possible. It’s not about cutting corners or following trends—it’s about standing firm in the belief that quality and responsibility go hand in hand. That’s why every product we offer is carefully designed to benefit not just wildlife, but also the planet and the people who care for it.
This vision extends beyond products. At Ark Wildlife, we’ve built partnerships with conservation organisations, supported grassroots wildlife initiatives, and inspired thousands of people to turn their gardens into sanctuaries. Every action we take—from sharing wildlife expertise to funding habitat restoration projects—brings us closer to our mission of protecting biodiversity. And every feeder sold or seed sown by our customers contributes to that greater goal.
What fuels me, even after all these years, is seeing the impact our work has—hearing from a customer who spotted their first goldfinch, knowing our hedgehog food helped a family of hoglets survive winter hibernation, or seeing a once-barren garden alive with butterflies. These moments are what drive me to keep pushing the boundaries—to grow this business while staying true to the values that shaped it from the very start. Because I believe that when businesses and wildlife thrive together, we all win.

How we got started
Meeting a need for Natural Nutritious food
In those early days, Sean constantly received requests for help in making his clients’ natural gardens more wildlife friendly. Requests for bird food encouraged Sean to research bird feeding, and at that time he found problems in the market with quality and service. He knew then the only way forward was to create his own natural, nutritious range of wildlife food and present it in a way which benefited both the wildlife and the customer. Ark Wildlife was born.
The company has steadily grown since those early days, now standing as one of the UK’s largest independent suppliers of bird food and garden wildlife products, despatching over 500 customer orders per day across the United Kingdom.
Exceptional service, because we care more than we can put into words
No matter how large our business is now, Ark Wildlife aims to combine the convenience of an online mail order outlet with the caring, helpful touch of a specialist shop. Our people make the difference. We take great pride in the energy, commitment and enthusiasm of our ever-growing workforce, still led by our inspirational driving force, Sean. If you read through some of Sean’s blog posts you will see how knowledgeable he is and how much he cares for the welfare of our wildlife.
