Distributor Spotlight: McVeigh Parker

At Easy Petrol Post Driver, we’re proud to work with an outstanding network of distributors across the UK and beyond. In this latest Distributor Spotlight, we’re shining a light on one of our longest-standing and most successful partners - McVeigh Parker.

As one of the UK's largest independent suppliers of fencing, gates, landscaping and agricultural products, McVeigh Parker has built an enviable reputation for innovation, expertise and customer service over more than 45 years in business. With eight depots nationwide, extensive stock holdings and their own delivery fleet, they continue to support fencing contractors, farmers, estates and land managers across the country.

McVeigh Parker joined the Petrol Post Driver dealer network in 2014 and have been a key part of our growth story ever since.

One of our best-performing dealers in the UK, their knowledgeable team understands the demands of professional fencing and consistently helps customers find the right tools and equipment for the job. Their commitment to quality products and practical solutions makes them a perfect fit for the Easy Petrol Post Driver range.

Over the years, countless fencing contractors have purchased their first Petrol Post Driver through McVeigh Parker, often alongside complete fencing systems and materials, helping them work faster, safer and more efficiently.

One of the reasons behind McVeigh Parker's success has been their willingness to embrace innovation and challenge traditional thinking.

They were early champions of the Clipex fencing system and have worked tirelessly to promote the benefits of steel fencing throughout the UK. While many contractors were initially committed to traditional timber fencing, McVeigh Parker recognised the advantages that steel systems could offer and have helped convert many hardcore timber fencing enthusiasts to modern metal fencing systems. Their efforts have played a major role in changing the UK landscape, especially when they successfully got steel posts approved on the Government grants, giving landowners the choice. The growth of Clipex fencing across the UK have helped establish steel fencing as a trusted solution for agricultural, forestry and infrastructure projects.

It's no surprise that the Petrol Post Driver has become a natural companion to these systems, providing contractors with a fast and portable solution for driving steel fence posts quickly and accurately.

In the video below, McVeigh Parker's Sales Director, Stuart Mills, reflects on the company's long-standing partnership with Gripple, the original innovators and manufacturers of wire joining and tensioning devices. Together with Clipex fencing systems and the Petrol Post Driver, this collaboration has helped deliver complete fencing solutions that enable contractors to work faster, more efficiently and with confidence. 

On their partnership with Easy Petrol Post Driver, Chris Hambridge, CEO at McVeigh Parker, said “Working in partnership with Easy Petrol Post Driver strengthens our ability to deliver faster, more efficient fencing solutions to our customers. As a valued APF Speed Fencing Competition sponsor and long-standing partner, Laurie and the team consistently demonstrate the performance and reliability behind this market-leading product.

Since introducing steel posts to the UK, we’ve focused on solutions that make installation quicker and easier. The Easy Petrol Post Driver is central to that, perfectly complementing our Clipex fencing system by providing a powerful, time-saving install method that boosts productivity on every job.”

If you're attending APF 2026 this September, be sure to visit McVeigh Parker and experience first-hand why they are such an influential force within the fencing industry.

Widely regarded as the UK's premier forestry, woodland, arboriculture and fencing event, the APF Show attracts thousands of industry professionals and showcases the latest products, machinery and innovations from across the sector.

This year, McVeigh Parker are once again hosting one of the show's most popular attractions:  the Fencing Village. Originally launched by McVeigh Parker, the Fencing Village has grown into a central hub for fencing contractors, manufacturers, suppliers and industry professionals, bringing together the latest products, technologies and expertise all in one place.

A major highlight of the Fencing Village is the British Open Fencing Championship on Friday 25th September. Hosted by McVeigh Parker, the competition sees some of the UK's most skilled fencing contractors go head-to-head, demonstrating precision, craftsmanship and efficiency under pressure. Alongside this flagship event, visitors can also enjoy the increasingly popular Speed Fencing Competition and a range of other activities throughout the show.

On Thursday 24th September, McVeigh Parker will host the bigger and better British Open Speed Fencing Competition, where visitors can witness just how quickly a fence can be installed using Clipex all-steel fencing systems, Gripple's latest wire joiners and industry-leading tools, including the Easy Petrol Post Driver. What has become one of the highlights of the event promises plenty of fast-paced action and friendly competition. We're delighted that both Easy Petrol Post Driver and Xtracto will be sponsoring this year's fencing competition.

You’ll find both brands located directly opposite McVeigh Parker within the Fencing Village, making it easy to see the complete installation and extraction process in action.

Competitors will be given an arsenal of professional fencing tools to choose from during the competition, including Easy Petrol Post Driver machines. The fence itself will be built using a Clipex fencing system, showcasing the speed and efficiency that modern steel fencing can offer. Once the competition is complete, Xtracto equipment will be used to extract the fence, providing a full demonstration of both installation and removal solutions.

If you're visiting APF 2026, make sure the Fencing Village is on your itinerary. Stop by McVeigh Parker, visit the Easy Petrol Post Driver and Xtracto stands opposite, and witness some of the UK's finest fencing talent competing for championship honours.

For more than a decade, McVeigh Parker have been an exceptional ambassador for Easy Petrol Post Driver, helping customers discover the benefits of modern fencing systems and labour-saving equipment.
