Hi,
Welcome to the Forum.
That would be Forrest & Wardell. They entered their mark at the Birmingham Assay Office on the 28th January 1801 from the address of St. Mary's Row, Birmingham.
The partnership was a short-lived one:
Notice is hereby given, that the partnership subsisting between Alexander Forrest the Younger and William Wardell, of Birmingham, Silversmiths, under the firm of Forrest & Wardell, was this day dissolved by mutual consent. the business will in future will be carried on by Wardell and Company, who are authorized to pay all Debts due from the said firm of Forrest and Wardell, and to receive all monies due to the same. Dated this 18th Day of March 1803.

If you have a caddy spoon with their mark, we would be very pleased to see an image of the item and the mark.
