thanks gone down the categories route and it works exactly how I need it to. Wasn't aware you can relate multiple categories to a single entry.

Not really (or not without a custom solution anyway) — tags are designed to be added by anyone. You might be better off using [categories](http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/categories) for this, which you can resist access to via userGroup permissions.
