ABOUT LARK
We are driven by a passion for music, and more specifically a passion for drums and percussion; the music industry, the instruments, the players, the teachers, the enthusiasts and all the individuals and organisations that support and nurture the art of drumming. As active players, being passionate about what we are and what we love doing is what drives everything we do.
We have over 30 years experience in the retail and wholesale of musical instruments , working with some of the biggest, most respected brands, bands and artists. The sales, marketing, brand management and artist relations experience, along with the wealth of contacts gained during this time makes LARK Distribution perfectly positioned to help new, or existing brands, reach their target UK consumers and to provide valuable market specific insight, connections and advise.
LARK Distribution Ltd. was set up early in 2019, initially with the main aim to provide a specialist sales, distribution and marketing channel for quality drum and percussion instruments and accessories, supplying to a network of MI retailers throughout the UK. We are also in a position to share the wealth of industry knowledge, experience and contacts gained over the years with smaller, specialist brands and manufacturers looking to gain market penetration or increase sales traction in the UK market...
...and then COVID happened...
Like many industries, the global pandemic has had a huge effect on the supply of musical instrument and accessories in the UK. The way in which consumers interact with suppliers, what they buy and how they buy products generally has changed forever. Increased overheads, lack of raw materials, supply chain issues and spiralling shipping costs lead us to completely re-evaluation what we are trying to achieve here at LARK Distribution. Finally a decision was made to focus on becoming a more consumer facing business.
Moving forward, we are excited to offer a wider range of quality percussion products at competitive prices direct to end consumers.
