Can you use a company's page as the author for google authorship or does it have to be an actual persons google + account for it to work ?
I.e. could i have it showing in search results as "-by acme co" rather than "-by simon smith "

Yes. Mashable has a good rundown on setting up a G+ brand page and you can find out how to implement authorship information in this answer to "How do I get my Google+ picture to show up on Google searches?" |

Google+ pages can not be used as Authors. Authorship needs a profile (person). Company / Organisation can only have pages therefore they can only be publishers , not authors.
