You can learn quite a lot about a company’s culture by interacting with them via social networks.

By searching the UK business directory at Duedil.com you can look up information on any company or director in the UK and Ireland going back 20 years, for free. The site provides financial histories, contact information, corporate structures, health and safety certification and more, and it also integrates with social networks such as LinkedIn and Facebook.
A financial tool like Duedil is useful for those looking to cross check information, for example, director information and company histories, where there are things like red flags for ongoing litigation and HSE sanctions. Cross checking the information is made easier because it’s all in one place and registration is free.
