If a company does not recognise a trade union, but an employee is a member of a trade union such as GMB, and after following an incident(non injury)that union member wants information on the incident, does the company have a legal duty to liaise with that person?

I would say no...
"a recognised trade union may appoint safety representatives from amongst the employees in all cases where one or more employees are employed by an employer by whom it is recognised . . . ."
So if the TU isn't recognised it cannot appoint Safety Reps.

It is irrelevant wether or not the person seeking the info' is a union member. What is relevant is the reason that the person wants this info' for. Are they a bit of a nosey parker or are they a company safety rep'.Are they going to investigate or are they going to stir it. If the latter then the company has a right to withold the info' and only communicate it with those that have or are effected by this 'incident'.

It appears that the company has to have the request for a union safety rep in writing, and that union must be recognised in the Trade Union and Labour Relations Act.

Unless I am misreading this - if it is the employee who has had the accident and regardless of which organisation they belong to (or not) or whether the organisation is recognised by the empoyer (or not) the individual surely has the right to see all information held in their name.
