Our learning journey began in 1994, when our Managing Director Dennis Blackmore established Learning Resources UK from his home in Norfolk on behalf of our parent company, based in Vernon Hills, Chicago, to provide high quality educational products to schools and homes across the UK and Europe. The company continued to grow every year and in 2006 the business acquired Educational Insights, based in Los Angeles, California with the common aim in delivering fun and experiential learning experiences for children. We are extremely proud to include these products within our family of brands, which includes GeoSafari®, Hot Dots® and Playfoam®. Our heritage and the trusted relationships we have built over the years, are the cornerstone of our success, enabling us to continually evolve as our business continues to grow, meeting the needs of teachers, parents and other mentors, whilst enabling children to discover their world through exploration, imagination and most importantly fun! This ethos is brought to life, throughout our core values, which form the foundation of our unique culture, an integral part of who we are and what we do they enable us to commit to developing products with; Quality – We believe in creating a quality product that will enable a child to take ownership of their learning and succeed Passion – We have passion in what we do and the products we sell, enabling us to deliver a superior service and product offering. Fun – In school, at home or in the workplace, we aim to inspire a life-long love of learning. Put simply, education can change a child’s life – we love learning and we hope you will too.

Our increasing success as a firm is entirely aligned to achieving success for all our clients.  We understand the challenges faced by our clients and we are committed to ensuring that we offer only talented lawyers who provide legal advice and representation dynamically and cost effectively.  We take a fresh, pragmatic and commercial approach to our legal practice that focuses on getting the best results for our diverse client base.

We pride ourselves on the personal service that we deliver, and the fact that instructing lawyers need not be a painful or expensive process. 

We recognise that the success of the firm rests upon the strong relationship developed with our clients and as such the practice is characterised by a personal service with a strong emphasis on providing an efficient and cost effective service.

Our office, in the heart of the Cathedral Close in Norwich, appears deceptively tranquil from the outside and gives no hint of the wide range of transactions being advised on within. Whether it is an international joint venture for the development of wind farms in Portugal or the drafting of a new Will, the setting up of charitable trust or a management buy out, we aim to provide the same level of personal, practical advice that our clients have come to expect of us.

Our strength as we move through the 21st century is based (as indeed it was 130 years ago) on the skills and experience of our partners and staff. This is combined with our ability to identify clients’ objectives and our desire to make sure they are realised. We help our clients deal with changing legal requirements and cope with the inevitable upheavals that occur from time to time in business or their private lives.

Leeway was established in Norfolk 1974 and was a founding member of WAFE (Women’s Aid Federation England). Our service was set up by a group of women who recognised that there was a need for a refuge in Norwich. We believe this became the third known to open in the country. The service started with a small start up grant from the local authority of £200 and was run by volunteers on a collective basis. dren, with the establishment of the After School Club and a Resettlement service. Leeway is a specialist domestic abuse charity supporting over 9,000 adults, children and young people every year across Norfolk who have or who still are experiencing domestic abuse. Leeway has been operating in Norfolk since 1974 and provides a range of services for women, men and children experiencing domestic abuse across Norfolk including, community services, emergency refuges, services for children and young people, advocacy, male victim support and a telephone helpline.

It can take place in any relationship regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, wealth or lifestyle.
