Run by the people who started TSO Host, they sold to GoDaddy who then went and mucked it all up.

Just recently had an 8 hour outage with tsohost for our websites and email was screwy for 4 days all i got in response was it’s been escalated and will be fixed soon. Something to do with migrating out hosting that has also miraculously doubled in price for the next renewal
In the market for a decent and fast provider who can do The migration for us. Cost isn’t a concern as it will probably be a damn site cheaper than what we’re paying atm

what does "simple" mean? Static, dynamic, ecommerce functionality? How much traffic are you getting?
also what are you built on now as it will help define what stack you need in your new home?
No e-commerce, pretty basic wordpress site, but with quite a lot of pages, HubSpot integration and elementor. Very little dynamic content right now but that might change. Get a few hundred hits per day, trying to grow that substantially. Our website is however absolutely critical to us as it's the main conduit that customers interact with us. We need almost perfect up time and really really good support if things stop working as we have no in house DevOps.also what are you built on now as it will help define what stack you need in your new home?
That is not a simple site.
Based on this and your previous post about domains you don't just need hosting you need someone who can manage the whole thing, a person or agency you can pick up the phone to and explain in your own words.
They will have preferred hosting providers that they recommend or resell and will have their preferred ways of doing things, if you can find someone specialising in WordPress and say this is where it is now I want you to take care of it you will be far better off than saying I've heard great things about this host I will use them.
There is a guy who sometimes posts on here who runs an agency blink web in the Southampton area, that is the sort of company you should be looking for. Ideally someone local you can meet in person get a feel for their level of experience.

Sites are fully Wordpress and getting circa 30-35k hits a month at everything is built into Wordpress for our booking platform and payment and booking frames are hosted seperatelyalso what are you built on now as it will help define what stack you need in your new home?

AWS
Application load balancer
Multiple web servers across availability zones.
S3 bucket for storage on static items
Rds in multi AZ
Code deploy for deploying changes.
This will give you a pretty robust environment for your WP site.
I love AWS (and am a certified AWS solutions architect) but this feels kind of overkill for a simple WP site.Application load balancer

I’d go with the company who the TSO host crew left to go to (Stablepoint?).
I had problems with TSO host after they were acquired by Godaddy. Email on their shared hosting had a poor sending rep which resulted in emails not reaching the recipients.
I now use Google G suite and have a static site hosted on that for my personal site. For more complex sites I tend to recommend Squarespace to people these days. Saves a lot of hassle maintaining Wordpress (had nightmares doing that in the past for mates where dodgy plugins got compromised etc). Might not be suitable in this case though unless you moved your booking stuff to it.
