How to correct our company's classification in main company listing

Hi - I need to edit the classification of our company on Imdb - we are Health & Safety and yet we are down as 'Security' on our main listing (but we come up as Health & Safety in all our credits.) I just want to correct the discrepancy between our 'headline' sector (found when you search for Media Safety Ltd in Imdb - which is currently incorrect) and our actual listed sector in the actual credits (which is sowing correctly). Can anyone help?

If I'm not mistaken these are automatic categories displayed at the top of the page, based on the listed credits.

I believe that the items at the top of the Company page (Security Services and Production Equipment and Services) are the Company Type, while Health & Safety is the Role of the company on a specific job.  The first item in the Company Type list is what is displayed in the Search results.

I am not sure how these items were created on the Company page; Peter may be right that it was automatic. I cannot find any place to remove these 2 items, but I did notice that there is a way to add Types to the Company. This only allows the following Types:
  • Production
  • Distributor
  • Law Firm
  • Talent Agency
  • Special Effects
  • Management
  • Publicist
  • Camera Equipment
  • Lighting Equipment
  • Grip Equipment
  • Sound Equipment
  • Film, Video and Audio Stock
  • Film Commission
  • Transportation Services
  • Location Services and Facilities
  • Security Services
  • Art Department Services
  • Costume and Wardrobe
  • Production Equipment and Services
  • Office Services
  • Sound Stages
  • Post Production Services and Facilities
  • Visual Effects
  • Guild / Union / Association
  • Financing
  • Casting
  • International Sales Agent
  • Marketing and Promotions
  • Film Festival
  • Casting Facilities
I don't think there is any way to change the currently listed Types, and it looks to me as though Security Services is the best fit of those possibilities to the Health & Safety role.

Thanks for the feedback. We are moving this over to the "idea" category for future consideration when we expand the company types.

Hi All - thanks for your replies.  It would be good to have a Health and Safety option on IMDB in future as Health & Safety is an integral part of making movies these days!  Many thanks, Jen
