Priority intake for businesses whose provider has shut down suddenly in the run-up to Christmas.
When Your Provider Shuts Down at the Worst Possible Time
The weeks before Christmas are some of the busiest and most sensitive of the year. Clients are trying to finalise work, complete transactions, and get reassurance before the holidays. When your reception or answering service shuts down without warning, you face:
- Missed calls and lost business opportunities
- Anxious or frustrated clients who can’t get through
- Reputational damage at a time when expectations are highest
- Additional pressure on your in-house team when they are already stretched or on leave
Frontline specialises in urgent pre-Christmas service takeovers, giving you calm, professional call handling when you need it most.
What We Provide
We are a long-established, family-run UK provider offering flexible, bespoke call handling. For urgent Christmas takeovers, we can provide:
- Professional UK-based daytime receptionists to answer in your name
- Bespoke call scripting matched to your existing process
- Secure message delivery by email, SMS, or to your chosen system
- Structured call triage and escalation to your team where needed
- Temporary emergency cover or a permanent new solution
- Christmas and holiday continuity built into your call flows
Daytime reception is our core focus, with the option to extend into 24/7 cover once processes are agreed and signed off.
How Quickly Can We Get You Live?
For urgent Christmas shutdowns, we prioritise onboarding. In most cases:
- Discovery call: Understand your business, call types, and escalation needs.
- Script and process build: We create or mirror your existing call handling process.
- Sign-off: You review and approve the call scripts and procedures.
- Go live: We switch on call handling and begin taking calls on your behalf.
You can normally be live within 24 hours of script approval and sign-off.
Pre-Christmas Rescue Offer
To make the decision as straightforward as possible at a pressured time, we offer:
- Setup fee waived for urgent Christmas takeovers
- Priority Christmas onboarding so interruptions are minimised
- Reduced first 7 days while we stabilise your calls
- No long-term lock-in during the initial transition period
Our aim is simple: protect your client relationships and keep your phones answered professionally, even when your previous provider has shut down.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you really get us live within 24 hours?
In most urgent Christmas shutdown cases, yes. Once we have the key information and your script is approved, we can usually activate your service within 24 hours. If there is any reason this isn’t possible, we will be honest and clear from the outset.
Do you just take messages, or can you do more?
We can provide simple message-taking or a fuller reception service, including screening calls, taking key details, and escalating urgent matters to your team. We’ll agree the right level with you before we go live.
Is this only for Christmas?
The offer and priority onboarding are focused on helping businesses affected by a pre-Christmas shutdown, but many clients choose to stay with us long-term once things have settled down.
Do you offer 24/7 cover?
Our emergency Christmas solution is centred on daytime reception, with the option to extend to 24/7 cover once processes are agreed and properly signed off. This ensures quality and consistency around the clock.
