The Wartime Company is a subsidiary of Barrington Ward Associates Ltd, a company specialising in the provision of marketing services to the Leisure Industry.

The two principal Directors of the company are Marilyn Ward and Barry Wilbraham.  Marilyn spent many years working for the Institute of Chemistry then later joined Dorset County Council as Co-ordinator for the European Market. She was later appointed to the role of Co-ordinator for the 50th Anniversary of D-Day in 1994. Barry Wilbraham spent several years in publishing and was a Director of Carlton Communications publishing division.  He later joined Dorset County Council in 1986 to become County Tourism Officer. 

The Wartime Company was born in 1995 and one of its more familiar activities is the production of its quarterly publication, Wartime News. However, with over fifteen years' experience in dealing with all aspects of the Second World War, few companies can boast the knowledge base accumulated, which is a hallmark of its success. This specialist WWII marketing advice has been extended to contracts with local government, WWII museums, associations, film-makers and television production companies.

The degree of expertise provided encompasses the media and direct marketing activities by providing clients with an in-depth understanding of the marketplace to include; educational tours, mailing programmes, familiarisation trips to museums and advice on event management.  This has been afforded to the majority of the WWII and WW1 museums in northern France and Belgium.

The Wartime Company also provides publishing and membership services to other organisations involved in technology along with the Defence Electronics History Society which is linked to the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom at Shrivenham.
