With due respect to the previous post, Australian ecommerce laws may afford you broader international protection to your images, is your competitors website hosted outside of the UK?

Thank you very much for your advice. I appreciate all the help I can get with this. My hope is that a solicitors letter will convince the other site to remove the images. They appear to be a very small company and the financial impact of what they have done is very limited - it is more annoying than anything else.

Thanks again

Michael

Michael,
You will almost certainly newed to obain an injunction to restrain the owners of the site from using your images/material - and possibly pursue a claim for damages if you have suffered loss as a result of their actions. This will require professional legal advice - and the back office solicitor's resources to process the applications and arrange representation. I mention this to save you time - and ultimately increased costs/loss should you plan to take diy action or be advised by someone without the necessary skills and resources.
