Answers.Text: Reading again Oliver's question, chances are that the Steven and Thomas are actually employees of the (main) organisation, not from the local branch, it might be an issue to have a more logical but less legally correct relationship. This being said, the right way IMO to handle the relationships and deal with branches indeed.
