WHY OFFSHORE SUPPORT FEELS RISKY

Hiring Friction

UK hiring is slow, expensive and hard to scale.

Regulatory Exposure

GDPR, IR35, and data risk make offshore feel unsafe.

Quality

Offshore teams can damage CX and brand trust.

These are the risks Orvella Talent Partners is built to remove.

Reporting & QA

Our Process

    Step 2: Offshore Readiness Assessment

    You’ll complete our Offshore Readiness Quiz, designed to evaluate:

    - Which processes can be offshored right now

    - Where workflow or compliance updates may be needed

    - How to streamline operations for smooth offshore integration

Why the Philippines

The Philippines is widely regarded as a global leader in customer support, with a strong reputation for empathy, professionalism, and English fluency.

What matters most, however, is how that talent is hired, trained, and governed.

At Orvella Talent Partners, Philippine based teams operate within a UK led delivery and compliance framework, ensuring cultural alignment, brand consistency, and service quality that meets UK customer and regulatory expectations.

As per PITON Global, Filipino customer support professionals are “exceptionally equipped to manage UK customers” due to cultural compatibility and a strong service ethos.

Our Values

Compliance First. Always.
If it’s not compliant, it’s not worth doing. We build offshore teams the right way legally, securely, and transparently.

Founder Focused Flexibility
We meet founders where they are. From early trials to established operations, our model flexes as your business evolves not the other way around.

On Brand Delivery
Offshore shouldn’t feel outsourced. Agents are trained on your brand voice and values for seamless customer experiences.

CX is Reputation
Customer support is the experience. We obsess over empathy, speed, and accuracy because every interaction shapes how your brand is remembered.

We Own the Work
If something isn’t working, we don’t hide behind process or contracts. We raise it early, fix it fast, and take responsibility for delivery.

 Frequently Asked Questions

  • Most clients can have their first agent live within 2-4 weeks.

    The timeline depends on role complexity, system access, and how quickly training materials and approvals are provided.

    We prioritise doing it properly over doing it rushed, that means recruitment, brand and tone training, and compliant setup from day one. The result is a team that’s operational and dependable, not just '‘online’.

  • We offer two offshore customer support plans, designed to balance flexibility, compliance, and delivery confidence.

    Lite CX - 3 Month Fixed Term

    Lite CX is designed for short term support or businesses trialling offshore delivery for the first time.

    It’s commonly used to cover temporary capacity gaps, seasonal demand, or to safely test an offshore hire without long term commitment.

    Pricing from £1,395

    Core CX - 6 Month Minimum, Rolling Monthly

    Core CX is built for ongoing customer support and embedded offshore teams.

    This plan supports deeper onboarding, stronger delivery continuity, and more cost efficient pricing in return for a longer term commitment.

    Pricing from £1,295

    Pricing varies by agent skill level (Essential, Skilled, or Specialist).
    All plans are billed monthly in GBP and are fully inclusive of employment, payroll, and compliance via our Philippine Employer of Record.

  • Yes. Scaling is built into our model.

    You can increase or reduce agent numbers, adjust coverage hours, or add services such as Quality Assurance, extended support hours, or specialist roles as your needs evolve.

    For Core CX clients, scaling is typically handled through a simple written change agreement, allowing us to onboard additional agents or expand scope without disrupting delivery.

    For Lite CX engagements, changes are possible within the agreed term, subject to availability and type of change.

    We’ll always be upfront about timelines, costs, and any operational impact before changes go live - no surprises, no hidden commitments.

  • You retain full control over your technology, data, and workflows.

    You decide which systems, tools, and access levels agents use. Agents work only within client approved environments, using your platforms, processes, and escalation paths.

  • We partner with reputable EORs. All contracts, payroll, and taxes are fully managed and GDPR aligned.
