WebsEdge do multimedia stuff for trade unions and local government organisations, but there is nothing I personally can say about the quality of their work or business model. If Dara OHare and others like, I can make enquiries within NUJ channels. That said, I would encourage PSCI-COM people to join and make use of the facilities provided by the NUJ when it comes to researching potential contractors and media clients. It is one of the valuable services provided by the union.
