Top 50 List of Best UK Call Centres

Call centres play a big part in the UK’s economy. There are around 926 businesses in the sector, employing close to 1.3 million workers. That’s around 4% of the entire workforce. 

Call centre staff have been a point of contact for customers for everything, from healthcare to DIY. Agents have been having conversations with customers, asking them questions –  and building relationships with them.

Using the right contact centre software, agents are tracking call data and storing it in the cloud –  so that they can better align their services with customers’ needs in real-time.

What Makes a Good Call Centre?

benefits of remote contact centre

A call centre is the public face of your business so it’s essential to choose the right one. 

Good call centres deliver a great customer experience with agents who are proficient in the caller’s language. Regardless of whether they deal primarily in inbound calls or outbound calls, their agents are trained in conversational skills so they don’t have to read word for word scripts.  This means they can ask relevant questions, identify issues, and make judgment calls, leading to increased customer satisfaction.

Whether their staff is based in office or homeworking, a good call centre uses the latest technology. They can handle a high number of calls, using call handling tools to direct calls quickly. This avoids leaving their customers hanging around on hold.

As well as handling high call volumes and tracking useful metrics in real-time, UK call centres need to be GDPR compliant.
