I have registered my name as a company name. Do I need to register it as a trademark as well?

Yes. Your company registration at Companies House will not stop a competitor using your name as a trademark or trying to register your name as their own trademark. All that the registration at Companies House does is stop some one registering another company with exactly the same name. If they change the name slightly they can register another company with an almost identical name. They can also try to use your name as their trademark unless you get a trademark registration.
