Reaching 10 years in business has given us the perfect opportunity to reflect on how A R K has grown from a simple idea into the trusted family business it is today. Our journey has been shaped by hard work, shared values and, most importantly, the wonderful people who have supported us along the way.

How we have got where we are 🩵

We truly couldn't do it alone, and our growth is thanks to a tight-knit team that lives and breathes our values. Just a year after launching, we were joined by Jo Baldwin, our fantastic Admin Assistant. As Karen's sister-in-law, Jo has been with us for nine incredible years, bringing her background in HR and exceptional organisational skills to the heart of A R K. If you've been a client of ours, you likely know Jo; she is the friendly voice guiding you smoothly through the paperwork and ensuring your vital family documents are handled with the absolute utmost care.

John, also joined the business full-time in 2020 to make A R K even more of a family affair. John helps with most day to day work as well has working hard on our branding and advertising - shaping how we communicate our core values and ensuring our message of care and clarity reaches the families who need it most.

But for us, growth has never been measured just in numbers; it’s measured by the impact we have on the community we live and work in. As a family business, we have always believed in giving back to the town that has given us so much.

At the Heart of Stevenage and surrounding towns and villages 📍🩵

For the past 10 years, A R K has been proud to call Stevenage home, supporting not only the families who trust us, but also the wider community across our town and surrounding areas.

That commitment runs through everything we do today. John’s passion for our town led him to become a Trustee of the Stevenage Community Trust, an organisation we have proudly supported as corporate members for almost as long as A R K has existed. John’s role means that we are able to directly help raise funds and support local people, families, and charities who need a helping hand.

Our financial support reaches right into the core of local welfare. Over the years, we have been incredibly proud to make ongoing charity donations to Home-Start Hertfordshire (Stevenage) to support their vital early-years family services, alongside our contributions to the East and North Hertfordshire Hospitals’ Charity to help fund extra equipment and patient care above and beyond what the NHS can provide. We have also supported many other local Charities in various ways.

We also believe that peace of mind comes from understanding, which is why we take our expertise out into the community. We have regularly given free, jargon-free educational talks in local retirement homes and some amazing local charities and groups; helping older adults and vulnerable individuals understand their options without any pressure.

Trusted Partnerships
We have also been incredibly proud to support our local NHS on the ground. We have teamed up with the Lister Hospital Butterfly Volunteer Service to set up a dedicated legal advisory stand during Dying Matters Awareness Week on three occasions - giving patients, families, and staff a safe, supportive space to ask vital questions about the future.

Our dedication to supporting local seniors is even recognised by the Stevenage Borough Council, who have invited us to attend the official Older Persons Day event for the past three years. It is a huge honour to be trusted by our local council to provide vital advice and information to the older members of our town.

Thank You for 10 Incredible Years 🩵

Our Story 🤍🔟

When we founded A R K Lasting Powers & Wills Ltd back in 2016, it wasn’t just about creating a Will writing business. It was born out of a deeply personal desire to help people protect their families when faced with life's most challenging moments. Having worked for years in the legal and taxation sectors, our founder, Karen, saw firsthand how stressful and confusing estate planning could be for everyday families. She knew there had to be a better, warmer way to offer this vital support—free from confusing legal jargon and high-pressure sales tactics.

With that vision, A R K was born—its very name a reflection of our core identity, inspired by our family initials and our sons, Ashley and Ross, with the analogy that at A R K protects you from the floods (or in our case the worst).

Fast forward 10 years… from what was a small team with a big vision, we are incredibly proud of how far we have come. We have grown from a brand-new startup into a trusted pillar of the Hertfordshire community, having now supported thousands of local families with their estate planning needs.
