The main requirement is for having a landline number for potential customers to ring that then get forwarded to 2 different mobiles for my business partner or I to pick up.

Several faultless years with them. Good choice of numbers, amazing flexibility, fast easy web interface and very reasonable.

Search for a local Telecoms company that do cheap local area virtual numbers.

Used to work with KCOM Myriad Platform that was brilliant for that sort of thing. Find someone who resells that. Watch the call costs for the forwarding to the mobile as the more unscrupulous companies may sting you for high rates.

I used to use a BT call divert service for exactly this. It was £9 a year and you could activate and deactivate it by dialling a given number. I presume they still do it.
