Which companies have their own medical?

I am just curious as I have heard that for some companies a government regulated medical Class 1 with no restrictions just isn't enough so they like to dig further. Does anyone knows what those medical exams consist of and which companies in UK practice their own medical exams?
I have had some problems with colour deficiency, but nevertheless I have JAA and Canadian Class 1 medical with no restrictions, since I have under gone the alternative Lantern test.
Few days ago I went for an assesment to Stansted for working on the airport and they didn't grant me the job, because I could't read those outdated isihara plates. So, I am a little bit worried how stringent do companies get and are there any that are not? (Ryanair, Easyjet,BMI...?)

Thanks and you can PM me as well, I'd appreciate your help

Cheers
