It is with great sadness that we report the death of long-standing company secretary and registrar of ITMA, Margaret Tyler MBE. Margaret joined the Institute of Trade Mark Agents, as it then was, as Company Secretary and Registrar in 1982 and served in those roles until August 2010. During those nearly 30 years of dedicated service Margaret was instrumental in, and central to, the many fundamental changes that occurred during that period, all of which dramatically reshaped the environment in which we work. You can read more about Margaret's life in the following tribute, written by past-president, Ian Buchan: https://lnkd.in/eqgeXGnR
