Pereira - cheers for the comments, The logo unfortunatly is their company logo and as such cant be changed. they are in the process of creating a new one and wont allow me input into that.
The layout was taken from a previous site they had, they paid a company alot of money for it and i fully agree with you. This is the reason i posted up here so that i can hopefully update it and make it much clearer and more professional.
many thanks
