Chris, there are a few companies that I know of that specialise in this field. Can you contact me offline and I'll give you the details.
Rach, if you want to plot data on free mapping software I suggest you have a look at these:
There are quite a few OS APIs now, but my preference is the Google API, for it's ease of use and interface.
I've written an application that uses this API and sends AJAX requests to the Y! geocoder because the Google API geocoder does not yet cover the UK.
Check it out here: http://www.online-archaeology.co.uk/GoogleMap
You can use many different data sources and plot them on these maps: XML, GML, GeoRSS, use a Web Mapping Service to query SHP files.
Give me a shout if you need more info.
