Can anybody recommend a Virtual Office service, preferably with a West Midlands address? I'm looking for somewhere to answer and forward phone calls, forward mail and provide a business address.

I've been using Regus for some years but have got tired of paying over the odds for a barely adequate service.

Thanks in advance.

Yep I would be interested in this too. Mainly for multiple business addresses across the UK where some mail can be sent to and then forwarded to our main office.

Try one of the online brokers - www.easyoffices.co.uk or the like - they should be able to help smile

Alternatives to Regus include: MWB Business Exchange, MLS etc.

We've used these services in the past and had a torrid time until we found Best Reception. I can't overstate how much damage a bad service in this area can do. Best Reception are very cheap as it happens, despite providing better service than anyone else we tried.

PM me and I will be happy to send you details of exactly who to speak to.

Just spoken to Andy (owner) at Best reception and he was very clued up and helpful.

Will probably accept the free trial with them.

I have been using them for around 8 months, very good and proffesional. Send emails with enquirys and call you if somone wants to talk direct, they just put them straight through. thumbup

They are not midlands based though but does it matter as they are acting as "you" anyway?

Ask for Grahame and say Adam sent you.

We have used a few but keep going back to Regus, but that's mainly because we get a cracking deal on adhoc meeting room use.
If anyone is tempted to use MLS then feel free to PM me for my experiences with them.
