Our Brand

Cornwall is special – all of us who live and work here know that. But the perceptions of people outside the county haven’t always kept pace with changing realities. Many still see Cornwall as just a beautiful holiday destination – a great place to relax, but not one that they associate with dynamic companies delivering state-of-the-art products and services that can compete with the best in the world. We need to change this one-dimensional perception, without losing sight of our unique history and superb natural environment. The Cornwall Brand initiative is helping to achieve this.

Get Involved

Cornwall Brand has been developed to promote Cornish business innovation, entrepreneurship and success outside of the county. On receiving a brand license a business becomes a “Brand Ambassador” and represents Cornish business to the wider world. The Brand License also enables businesses to use the “Blaze Marque” if required.

Cornwall Brand holds a number of events throughout the year for its Brand Ambassadors as well as actively promoting its Ambassadors through a wider PR & marketing campaign.

Brand Ambassador Eligibility

Not all businesses are eligible to be Brand Ambassadors and use the Cornwall Blaze Marque, the Cornwall Brand identity. This initiative is primarily aimed at businesses which operate in the knowledge economy sectors i.e. environmental technology, aerospace, medical and I.T sectors.

Eligible businesses need to demonstrate one or more of the following principals:

  • Cornwall Business Awards winner / finalist
  • International trade
  • Spirit of innovation
  • Promote Cornwall’s entrepreneurial expertise
  • Key driver in contributing to long-term economic sustainability
  • Forward looking, represent a dynamic Cornwall
  • Distinctive; doing something new / unusual, firsts for Cornwall / UK
  • Good ambassador for Cornwall; visionary; inspiring; quality

Please note in the food and drink sector, sector leaders are consulted to ensure “quality” products are produced. The Cornwall Blaze Marque is not a trade mark or quality assurance mark.
