Legislation requires us to have to keep a record of all companies using our Virtual Mailbox facility, to not only protect ourselves, but all Virtual Mailbox subscribers.
What is the postage deposit for?
You will need to pay a postage deposit if you would like us to forward your mail to a different mailing address. If however you expect to come into the Business Centre to collect your mail, you will not need to pay a deposit. The postage deposit covers the cost of the Royal Mail postage and packing charges for forwarding your mail.

Should you require us to forward your email, a flat fee will be charged per mail forward. We will deduct the postage and packing charged by Royal Mail from your postage deposit.
Telephone Answering
Can I bring my own number?
Yes you can. If your telephone number is on one of the same telephone exchange as we are on, then this is very simple and could be transferred in as little as 14 days from receiving your request. If however, your telephone line is not on the same exchange as one of our DDi range’s than it gets a little more complicated. There are two options you can choose from. The first option is to have your telephone line provider divert calls to your number to a newly assigned DDi range we will provide you with. The second option is to have your telephone provider place an automated message on incoming calls coming through advising callers of your new number.
Will the calls be answered in my company name?
Yes, we are able to identify which company each caller is telephoning for and our Receptionists will answer all your calls in your company name in a professional, friendly and cheerful manner.
How will I know when somebody has called and how soon after?
We can either email or text message you whenever you receive any calls so you have an accurate record of every call, the time of the call, the caller’s details and nature of their enquiry direct to your inbox or mobile.
Can I take the number Ive been provided with after I leave?
Yes you can, we charge a small fee for the transfer of assigned DDi’s. Please consult your Business Centre Manager for more details.
Can the telephone be answered in my name if I am out?
Yes, our fully trained Centre staff provide professional telephone answering services from 9 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday.
Are there any set up charges?
None at all.
Are there cancellation charges?
No. However you cannot be refunded for a service that has been provided in full or in part.
How long do the services take to set up?
Your account will be set up as soon as you’ve made payment and completed the account details.
How does the telephone answering service work?
We will provide you with a unique phone number that you can use on your stationary and give to clients. We will answer your calls in your company name and take a message from your caller. You will receive the message straight away by email or SMS.
I don’t want to change my number, but I need a telephone answering service. Can you help?
Of course we can help. We will still need to allocate a unique number to you. You will then have to instruct your existing phone service provider to divert your calls to the new number we have given you.
What is the difference between having calls diverted and having them patched through?
With a call divert service, clients who dial your unique phone number will have their call automatically redirected to another phone number of your choosing. With a patching service, we receive and answer the calls to your dedicated phone line, and then try to put the call through to you.
