Don't let the London Underground Strikes affect your business!

If you're one of the millions of daily commuters who travel through London and you're planning on going to work between the 27th of June and the 1st of July… you're in for a treat! The RMT are going to be striking on various times on these days, signalling another bout of travel chaos.

What we at OfficeFront find odd, though, that businesses still suffer dramatically when things like this happen. If your receptionist can't make it in to work because she's stuck in a million-person queue on the wrong side of London, your potential business and your current clients are possibly going to suffer, right?

Wrong! If your receptionist hasn't made it to the office, or she at least won't be in until the afternoon, your phone don't have to go unanswered; there is a solution! And it doesn't come with the expensive cost of getting a temp in, or re-allocating important staff to man the phones. It's called a Virtual Switchboard Service, and if you have one set up, you can have your calls redirected at the flick of a switch, and hey-presto, crisis averted!

Our Virtual Switchboards, essentially, mean having calls to your business number redirected to one of our offices, where it will be picked up by a member of your dedicated receptionist team. They will answer the call in your company name, and then either forward calls or take messages, just as if they were sitting in your very own reception, and your clients will never be able to tell the difference.

So, what are you waiting around for? Don't let these strikes affect the day-to-day running of your business… set up a Virtual Switchboard Service now!
