I was thinking some people might want to change the way the page title is displayed, so I managed to get it to work nicely and added it to our KB, and for people who don't read our KB here's the way to do it
Change this:
<title><?php echo $this->Html->safe(($this->Html->ifSet($page_title) ? $page_title . " - " : "") . $this->Html->ifSet($system_company->name));?></title>
To this:
<title><?php echo $this->Html->safe($this->Html->ifSet($system_company->name) . ($this->Html->ifSet($page_title) ? " - $page_title" : ""));?></title>
Now your pages won't be Page Title - Company Name but will show Company Name - Page Title
