If you have a user in current_user for example then the company is current_user.company, so the name is current_user.company.name. Such is the magic of Rails. Watch out for the cas when the user does not have a company, in which current_user.company will be nil. Check out the rails guide on ActiveRecord relationships to see how this all works.
