There have been a couple of recent topics about this. The search tool is easy to use, has a 3 character minimum length, and then read through any results.
For example, search term "radio":
There is a good radio guide in the Tutorials section as well. Will be linked to other comms topics as well.

I posted this a few days ago.
Thought an update on my progress with this might be useful.
I have gone down the Small Business Light User licence from Offcom. Im sure lots of people dont. £75 over 5 years isnt a big deal and I can add in others to my team frequencies now quite lgally.
I bought 2 Beofeng UV-5R radio sets with batteries, chargers and earpieces from an eBay seller in the UK called littlelittlebird for £38.99 delivered. These were programmed for me by a tech at my local site in less than 5 minutes.
I found the Condor Handheld Radio Pouch fits perfectly and bought two from cadetdirectltd on eBay. £15.74 with combined postage.
Then I bought 2 x Bowman Headsets and Peltor type PTTs (sold as Z-Tactical but arrived with no branding) from a seller in China called Sales-Radio. Unfortunately one of the PTT's doesnt work but at £36 delivered I figured this was worth the risk. Hopefully I will get a resolution on the U/S PTT.
Thats it though, its as simple as that.
