At Whistl, we offer outsourced call-handling services from our managed call centres here in the UK. These services involve our team members managing inbound and outbound customer communications, including call answering and answering service solutions, on behalf of our clients. Our outsourced call centre services can cover multiple channels, including phone, email, live chat, and social media, providing expert UK call services.
Our expert agents are focused on delivering high-quality customer interactions tailored to your specific business needs. They strive for a first-contact resolution approach to decrease repeat inquiries and boost customer satisfaction. Our customer service outsourcing solution enables your business to outsource call handling, save on operational costs, scale your services to match call volume, and enhance that all-important customer service.
Outsourcing has many functional and financial benefits for organisations of all sizes and sectors. With our call centre outsourcing services, you can:
Extend opening hours: By working with call centre outsourcing companies like Whistl, you can extend your availability beyond your usual business hours. This ensures customers can reach you conveniently and at a time that suits them, enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Increase flexibility and scale: With Whistl’s scalable solution, your business can adapt to fluctuations in call volume and ensure service quality even during peak times, without wasting time and money hiring and training additional staff. Our flexible overflow call handling service also offers the benefit of scale. You can adjust the level of outsourced support for busier or quieter periods, saving money and reducing customer hold times.
Remove fixed employment and staff training costs: Outsourcing call handling in the UK eliminates the need for hiring and training in-house staff, so you can slash recruitment and onboarding costs while expanding your team.
Reduce IT and infrastructure costs: By utilising Whistl’s advanced technology systems, your company can avoid the costs of maintaining an in-house call centre and IT support. Our solutions offer seamless integration with your existing systems, ensuring a smooth transition and efficient operations.
Increase your operating capacity: Transferring all or part of your contacts to Whistl lets you focus on core business activities while ensuring efficient call management. This enables higher service levels, shorter call and hold times, extended opening hours, and more efficient responses across all required contact services. By outsourcing some or all of your customer support needs, you can be assured of higher customer satisfaction rates. Effective call handling by our team also helps maximise sales opportunities for your business.
Leverage experienced, empowered agents: At Whistl, we hire experienced agents with extensive industry knowledge. This equips them with the skills to handle inquiries and offer relevant information to callers. A dedicated team supports clients committed to delivering high-quality customer service and sales support.
Gain access to valuable insights: Whistl can measure key performance indicators to ensure consistently high customer service levels. This allows you to monitor performance and make any necessary adjustments to improve customer satisfaction. Additionally, Whistl provides insight reporting on call reasons, enabling you to identify trends, address frequently occurring issues, and proactively improve your services.

Whistl's Contact Centre Memberships and Accreditations



Want to improve your customer service levels?
Improve engagement across all channels with our outsourced customer support solutions.
The timeline for a customer service program can vary depending on complexity and scale. However, a straightforward implementation could be within 4 to 8 weeks from contract signing to the first call. This includes training agents to become experts in your product/service.
With hundreds of physical seats across two UK sites plus home worker capacity, we adjust staffing based on your call volume, allowing us to respond to your call demand. For example, if you experience a 40% spike during peak season, we allocate additional agents for the period. When demand drops, we scale back the resource, meaning you pay only for what you use, eliminating fixed overhead and employment costs.
Whistl agents have an average tenure of 9-10 years, compared to the contact centre industry average of 1-2 years. The extended tenure allows our teams to resolve issues faster (first-contact resolution), understand your business better, and provide superior customer experience. Our clients benefit from consistent service quality and institutional knowledge that new hires can't replicate.
We offer solutions across all customer communication channels, including phone calls, social media, email, live chat, and messaging apps. We can support on a single channel, multiple or across all channels.
Reports are tailored to both the set KPIs and objectives. For example, the reports can include raw channel data, trend analysis, agent performance breakdowns, and strategic insights for continuous improvement (e.g. typical call times or reasons for contact).
