Our history:

Clarkes is a true family business. Currently we have the third generation of Clarkes working in the business. It was originally purchased in 1977 by John Clarke. In 1988 when John passed away Peter Clarke took over the business and has owned and managed it ever since. Peter married his long time employee and friend Colette and now Peter’s sons are also working in the business.

John Clarke was fond of saying that the “awards business is the most positive business in the world”. He believed that by appreciating people he helped make their lives better. That is why he bought the business.  This is a business that makes a positive impact on people’s lives by “Lifting the Human Spirit”. The world has changed since 1977 but the principles and beliefs are still the same.

Peter Clarke alone brings more than 3 decades of experience to the business. He has worked in the company since 1979. He has owned it since 1988. There is little in the appreciation business that Peter doesn’t know outright, and nothing that he cannot find out. This can only be a great benefit to his many clients.
