Ward Trade Marks, one of the UK’s leading trade mark lawyers or attorneys is proud to announce that it has joined Norfolk Chamber of Commerce.
Built on founder Rachael Ward’s quarter century of trade mark expertise, since 2014 Ward Trade Marks has established itself as a market-leading specialist law firm among both major corporates and small and medium sized enterprises, based in both UK and overseas.
The company was jointly founded by Rachael and her husband Bill, who has decades of senior executive experience – including in the highly competitive airline market.
Ward Trade Marks represents dozens of businesses across many sectors, including property, animation, soft drinks and leisure.
Trade marks comprise logos, strap lines, words and other visual ways of representing a brand. They are a key part of a company’s identity, a symbol of their relationship with customers and a key asset on their balance sheets.
Failure to register trade marks correctly in different countries may mean they can be used by competitor companies.
Rachael explained that “Ward Trade Marks is centred both on our expertise – we are one of only a tiny handful of specialist trade mark attorneys – and our values. These values have been shaped by both our beliefs that hardworking company owners deserve a return for their risk-taking and that could be endangered by competitors ‘owning’ your trade marks and picking up business that is rightfully yours.”
To provide this service, Ward Trade Marks has expanded and now employs five staff. We operate across every time zone and will meet all reasonable deadlines to protect your brand and ensure that your trade marks are registered and protected.
In addition to our UK and international trade mark registration service, we also ensure that our clients’ brand is protected by monitoring and reviewing efforts by other companies to acquire this part of your intellectual property portfolio.
Client comment:
TukTuk Creative Marketing brings together some of the best copywriters, photographers, developers and marketing brains to offer clients a full creative service.
Vicky Stanaway for TukTuk Creative Marketing explained why they opted for Ward Trade Marks:
“I love our company name, and it brings to life what I wanted to do when I started the company – taking brands on an inspiring journey, and what better way than on a TukTuk. To lose the name now or in the future would be crushing.
Bill and Rachael have been amazing from the start, and I whole heartily trust them to set up the Trademark and follow up with any issues that occur along the way.”
Bill explained the company’s reasons for joining Norfolk Chamber of Commerce: “as a specialist but growing trade mark practice with a strong presence in East Anglia and with both a local and an international client base and credentials, joining this Chamber was a logical and necessary next step.
“In becoming members of Norfolk Chamber, Ward Trade Marks can access the organisation’s great networking events and be part of its high-profiled lobbying campaigns.”
We are Ward. We are a brand emergency and protection service.

The results of this survey will be used in Chamber engagement with stakeholders at the highest levels of Government, as well as with parliamentarians and regulators. Your input will help us to ensure that Norfolk business concerns and priorities are reflected in government policy.
The survey closes at midnight on 3 February 2017. It is open to all businesses and should take around 5 minutes to complete. All data collected is anonymised.

‘Laura came to us in November of 2022 because she was distressed about supporting her family over the oncoming festive season. They were living off of foodbank parcels and had been unable to top-up their electric pre-pay meter. Laura was concerned about being unable to provide home comforts and proper meals for their partners daughter who was coming to stay for Christmas.
An adviser made sure they were able to access basic living necessities such as clothes and toiletries and issued them a foodbank voucher. The fuel-voucher usually issued by the Warm & Wise team was incompatible with the client’s submeter so they were instead supported with £300 transferred to their account for energy costs.
Laura was emailed an additional £100 supermarket voucher so that she could switch her empty fridge-freezer back on ready to be stocked up for Christmas!’

First Intuition is the first accountancy training provider to become a signatory of Access Accountancy. Access Accountancy is a charity that collaborates with accountancy firms, professional bodies and organisations dedicated to improving access to, and progression within, the accountancy profession for applicants from lower socio-economic backgrounds in the UK.
Established in 2014, Access Accountancy works towards everyone having an equal chance of accessing and progressing within the accountancy profession based on merit, not background. The vision of Access Accountancy is to ensure that the accountancy profession is representative, at all levels, of the socio-economic demographic of wider society.
First Intuition Cambridge Limited will be working with Access Accountancy towards three milestones: Adopting, Contributing, and Influencing to increase the volume, scope and quality of activity to improve access to, and progression within, the accountancy profession for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
One of the ways First Intuition will achieve this is through its Accountancy Academy programme, a free virtual event created to invite students from across the country to find out more about the accountancy and finance industry and the careers available within it. Including sessions on routes into the industry, how to find roles, and tips on making a good impression with CV’s and at interviews.
Amy Forrest, Managing Director of First Intuition Cambridge Limited comments:
“I am really pleased that we have become a signatory for Access Accountancy!
“Our mission is to train accountants, and that’s all accountants. We want to make the accounting career more accessible to all, including those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Working with Access Accountancy and contributing to their important work is a big step towards this.
“We have a fantastic network of employers, students and alumni, and fantastic relationships with professional bodies, local groups, recruitment agents, think tanks, and many more. We will be looking at how we can do our part in this community to further promote accounting as a career to a more diverse group of people.”

On Thursday 19th January, over 70 members joined us for a Business Breakfast at the Great Yarmouth Town Hall. The Assembly Room provided a grand and spacious setting where delegates could network over coffee upon arrival.
Neil Orford, president of the Great Yarmouth Chamber Council kicked off proceedings by welcoming guests and congratulating Caroline on her much deserved MBE. Guests then went straight into some Speed Networking which is designed to get guests talking to as many other people as possible. The Speed Networking meant that guests were able to meet up to 32 different people in the room.
When guests wrapped up their networking sessions, they were treated to a full English breakfast courtesy of T&K Banqueting Ltd.
Presentations then came from our event Sponsors, Norfolk County Council, supported by Great Yarmouth Borough Council. Tig Armstrong, Infrastructure and Economic Growth Manager, David Allfrey, Major Projects Manager, both from Norfolk County Council gave updates on infrastructure across Norfolk, looking at both the dualling of the A47 and the Third River Crossing project. Both government spending and timelines were discussed, Norfolk County Council advised that building work could begin on bridge as early as 2020.
David Glason, Group Manager for Growth, Great Yarmouth Borough Council then updated guests on investment within the Town Centre explaining that £2m is being put into regenerating Great Yarmouth.

The event was rounded off with a Q+A session with our speakers where delegates asked for more information on the Town Centre – which can be found displayed in the Town Hall, or here. Businesses were also interested to see how they could support the projects, to which Tig explained that every ounce of vocal support helps them build a case for the infrastructure.

Norfolk County Council will receive an additional £5.1 million from central government to spend on road and transport improvements in the 2017/18 financial year, it has been announced.
The money comes from the government’s National Productivity Investment Fund, which was announced in the Autumn Statement, however the detail of how the fund will be allocated has only been announced in the last week.
This is new funding for local highway and other local transport improvements which is designed to support local economic growth and improve access to employment and housing. This could include schemes that reduce congestion at key locations and upgrading or improving the maintenance of local routes.
Jonathan Cage, President of Norfolk Chamber said: “The state of Norfolk’s road infrastructure impacts on all members of the Norfolk business community and we welcome any improvements that will help reduce journey times and congestion.”
Martin Wilby, Chairman of the Environment, Development and Transport Committee, said: “We know good transport networks are vital to business growth and job creation, as well as simply making everyday life easier for everyone. Reducing journey times and congestion on our road network and continuing to improve safety for all on our roads is a priority for this council, so this is additional funding is very welcome.”
Members of the council’s Environment, Development and Transport Committee will receive a verbal update about this additional new funding at a meeting next Friday (27 January) as part of an agenda item about the council’s proposed highways capital programme, which is spent on major works such as structural road repairs and major surfacing schemes. Next year’s highways capital programme is anticipated to stand at £38.83m, with the £5.1m from the National Productivity Investment fund being additional to this figure.
