Business Breakfast - IP Law with Chris Hawkes

The latest Wrekin Business Breakfast provided an engaging opportunity to explore the importance of Intellectual Property (IP) and its role in business growth and protection.

We were privileged to welcome Chris Hawkes, Director at Stobbs and a leading IP lawyer with over 15 years’ experience in trade marks, designs, copyright, and IP disputes. Chris shared practical guidance on protecting and enforcing business brands, demonstrating how strong IP practices can safeguard creative and commercial assets while supporting future growth.

The session forms part of the school’s ongoing efforts to connect Wrekinians with the local business community, offering students insights into professional pathways, with events that aim to build a thriving ecosystem of learning and collaboration. By linking students with expertise from local businesses, the Business Breakfast series continues to support futures and employability initiatives across the school.
