Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on December 7, 2015.

The checky shield is for the financial sector and also for the building industries, the three lions on a blue pile (the V is for Vocation) are redolent of the English Sovereign's Arms, one lion faces backwards to the craft heritage of the country, one looks outwards to the present and the third forward to the future.

The coronet from which the crest rises and those on the supporters symbolise the Royal Charter.

The supporters are an English lion semé of mill rinds for the agricultural industries and a hind symbolising the emergence of women into many vocational areas (such as engineering, hence the cog wheels). The hind sports a chain with a part annulet at the end for she has broken free of those difficulties which have held women back in many occupations.

The Pegasus which stands for both the creative and the aviation industries, places one foot on a harp for the musical professions, around his neck is a collar compony of anchors for the maritime industries and also as a reminder of the chairman, Lord Lingfield, for there is a similar collar on his own Bagwyn crest.
