I'd suggest you send an invoice to GNE marketing dept for a "reasonable" sum, and wait for a cheque or response. I guess they can say they don't have a contract with you in order for you to raise an invoice, but equally they had no permission from you to use copyright registered photographs. You'll probably hear nothing unless you back up with a Final Demand 30days or so later suggesting legal action (through small claims court) should payment not be forthcoming. - Then I expect you will get paid, as long as the amount is reasonable.
Bit OTT isn't it? I agree they should have asked, but I'd sooner take it as a compliment that someone wanted to use my work on their official marketing. Adam has already said he's not bothered as long as he's asked first, so lets not blow it out of all proportion.
On another note, I'm shifting this and related posts to a more appropriate thread.
