This big white space is for you to explain details of your question, like
what version of Word and what you are trying to do and what happens instead.

Watermarks are in the header or footer. You can have a different one for the
first page. Just go into the header/footer view and cut the watermark from
your header. Then click on the page setup button on the toolbar to change
the document to have different headers/footers on the first page. Close that
dialog and paste your watermark back into the first page header.

Take a look at: How to set up letterhead or some other document where you
want one header on the first page and a different header on other pages.

In order to do this, you will have to check "Different first page" on the
Layout tab of Page Setup so that you have a separate First Page Header. At
that point, you will probably find that you have the opposite of what you
want: a watermark on the second and subsequent pages (anchored to the
Header) and none of the first page. View | Header and Footer, Show Next if
necessary to get to the page 2 Header, Cut the watermark from that page
(Ctrl+X), return to the First Page Header, and Paste it there (Ctrl+V).

I have not explained myself correctly. The watermark is not in a header or
a footer. I have used it as a background for a full page. I now have to
carry on typing on the second page but do not want it as a background. What
do I do so that it only appears on the first page. I have got a first page
header which gives all company information.

A watermark (even a full-page background) is nothing more than a graphic
anchored to the header paragraph. You can select that graphic and Cut and
Paste it where you need it. Given that you have a letterhead on the first
page, I would guess that you already have "Different first page" enabled. In
that case, all that is required is to view the Header (on page 2), select
the watermark, and press Delete.
