    Personally I’d treat both with some caution.

    Do you use internet banking with clients PC?
    At ClientCo, they use SSL interception, but some sites (internet banking, NHS etc.) are on a whitelist for no interception.

    To achieve this, they install new root certs on their estate. The proxy regenerates the website certs and signs them with the interceptor root. Maybe you don't have that root installed.

    What's the root cert in the chain - not the issuer as that could have been spoofed as well.
    Perhaps ever PC has the same error and they’re breeding bad user behaviour (ignoring cert errors).

    Do you need to update your root CA's? Did you check it via any other means? SSL Labs is giving them an A+ rating which is normally an excellent start.

    I don't think updating the root CAs will help. GlobalSign have been around year. Unless OP is using Windows 95 I think it's more likely that the OS or browser CA list has been modified. That would make the OS/browser untrusted rather than the website IMO.

    what's wrong with a cert with 9 months left to go?

    the question is why does your browser think the authority is invalid. Looks OK to me.
