Hi backtothefuture-ga:
Thanks for the interesting question. I've done some
extensive searching, weeded out all the software-only
vendors, and have been able to come up with
the following UK-based companies/consultants that should be able
to set you up with a complete, customized IVR system.
While some of these companies may use voice recognition,
they all can work without it as well.
I've listed them here in no particular order:
1. UTILIS (ICR)
URL: http://www.utilissolutions.co.uk
Quote: "How well you communicate with your customers and staff
can have a tangible effect on the efficiency and success of
your company. UTILIS can call on unrivalled experience of
creating and implementing leading edge business solutions
incorporating Interactive Voice Response (IVR), and
speech recognition. These can set your staff free to
focus on other areas of your business - like sales,
marketing and providing the personalised (sic) service which
engenders customer loyalty."

are developed and written by a team of specialist engineers
using a specially developed scripting language.
Elite has gained an enviable reputation over the last few years
in being able to provide highly bespoke network based IVR services
