This is the story behind an iconic British brand that is approaching its double century. Clarks' reach extends to all corners of the globe & yet it remains a family-owned business firmly rooted in its Quaker origins unlike other well known Quaker firms like Cadburys now part of US giant Kraft. Founded in 1825 by two brothers Cyru & James Clark the company began as a rug-making operation in the then tiny village of Street Somerset. One day James Clark began making slippers from off-cuts of rugs & found that people wanted to buy them. Slippers became shoes & boots
- & a business was born. Over the years it has had its ups & downs but it has always strived to remain true to its Quaker values in its commitment to the well-being of its workforce & the local community. Schools libraries & recreation halls were built
- & trade unions banned. As the sun set on the British Empire Clarks opened up new frontie across the world. Clarks brand logo became one of the most famous in the world. Every parent in the 1950s swore by Clarks shoes for their children as well as buyin them for themselves. But increased competition from within the UK & overseas saw concerns for the future heightened during the 1980s. A hostile bid for the company in the early 1990s saw the board & the family split. Eventually shareholders voted to reject the bid. The company was reorganised with all its lines made outside the country. This meant the closures of all UK factories & the laying off of hundreds of Clarks employees. But the result has been a transformation in the company's fortunes. In 2010 its profits were over GBP 100 million & its retro desert boots & other styles have become the height of fashion especially in China & America.
