Search through the list and click on the company you are looking for. If you cannot find the company you are looking for then you will need to enter their details manually. Please click here to enter a Contractor's details manually.

If you click on the down arrow this will list the names of any administrators set up for this company. Click on the person's name who will then be entered as your main contact for that company and their details will pre-populate in the fields below.
