About Us

Welcome to Rufford's

Rufford’s is a family owned and run business, here to serve our friends in the country community of Lancashire and beyond. Our passionate and knowledgable team bring you the very best in country clothing for all the family.

Live Your Country Life in Style

Whether you’re a trendsetter or a traditionalist, we’re here to help you find the right pieces for living your country life in style.

We’ve worked our British knitted wool socks off to bring the most desirable, modern and prestigious designer country wear brands to our country community in Lancashire and further afield, through our website.

When it comes to living, working and playing in the countryside, our first-hand experience tells us that only the very best quality clothing and materials will do.

We stock designer fashion-led brands inspired by the country alongside heritage brands who have been crafting clothes fit for country life, on both a fashionable and functional level, for hundreds of years.

Your Shopping Experience

We welcome customers to our store to try on clothing from our designer collections. We also offer a click and collect service and our store is dog friendly.

When it comes to service, it’s important to strike the right balance. We’re sure you don’t appreciate pushy sales staff nor bored sales assistants, and neither do we! Never overbearing yet always attentive, we like our customers to feel relaxed and a little bit pampered – certainly not pressured. When invited, we’d love to help guide your personal style.

It really is important to us that you feel nothing less than delighted with both your purchase and your shopping experience with us, and we always value your feedback.

Take advantage of our free delivery offers. While shopping online can feel less personal than we’d like, you can always call us and we’ll happily answer your questions, share our product knowledge and offer advice.

We’re a family owned and run business, here to serve our friends in the country community online and in Lancashire.

Our Story

Rufford’s is the sister company of Clarke & Pulman, a long-running agricultural machinery service and sales firm founded in 2003. A successful addition to the C&P group, Rufford’s was the natural step for a family fully immersed in country life.

There’s plenty of muddy wellies at our Lancashire farm, livery yard and horse rehabilitation centre, but like most we also enjoy a little city action, and attending events such as the races which allow us to scrub up and dress up.

Keen equestrianist and busy mum of two Becky Clarke is our resident fashionista. Together with her event rider partner Gareth Warburton, she understands the demands of modern life and the need for a versatile wardrobe that works for the realities of work, raising a family, riding and socialising.

As manager and owner, Becky explains her inspiration behind establishing the business:

“There wasn’t anywhere I could go to find all my favourite brands under one roof. Inspired by this gap in the market, I took on the challenge to create a place I felt gave the community something that was missing.

“At Rufford’s we’ve created an attractive store with a warm welcome. Somewhere you can try on, touch and feel these luxury pieces before you buy.

“While it’s always nice to come and browse in store, this isn’t always feasible or convenient. Hence why we strive to make your online shopping journey pleasant and seamless from start to finish – when you’re delighted with your beautifully-packaged purchase, delivered straight to your door.”

BECKY
RETAIL DIRECTOR

There isn’t anything that I don’t love about my job. From seeing regular friendly faces in store, to meeting and learning about new customers there is always a happy face to chat to. My role involves buying all the gorgeous stock we have in store, for a girl that adores to shop it really is the most perfect job! When I’m not working, I enjoy spending my time with my horses, competing and of course, socialising with friends.

ASHLEIGH
SALES ASSISTANT

The best part of my job is having a good natter with customers and helping them find something they love. Also getting to meet and cuddle people’s dogs! Outside of work I enjoy horse riding and paddle boarding in the summer. I’m currently busy at university doing a BSc (Hons) in Equine Science.

LESLEY
SALES ASSISTANT

I enjoy working with a small team of great people and interacting with all the different customers we get in and helping them choose the right item. In my spare time I enjoy shooting, beating with my dogs, reading and travelling abroad. I co-own a clay pigeon shooting ground and I have 2 alpacas, a Shetland pony, chickens and 3 grandchildren that keep me very busy!

CHRISTIE
SALES ASSISTANT

Being part of a family run business makes you feel like you are a part of the family. We also have the best customers, it’s always nice to catch up with a friendly face who you’ve helped. I love the outdoors; I have a border collie who comes walking with me. I love music socialising, drawing and reading. Every year, I participate in a muddy 10-mile obstacle course with my friends!
