Ultimately I want emails sent to anyemailaddress@ourdomain.co.uk to arrive at our Exchange Server, here in our offices

But, if I set mail.ourdomain.co.uk to point to eUKHosts Mail Server, then won't it try and deliver the email to the anyemailaddress@ourdomain.co.uk located at eUKHosts' Smart Email system, rather than our Exchange Server here?

How will your Smart Email system know to deliver the emails to our Exchange Server here?

This is where I expected the Mail Forwarding to come in by forwarding mail from the ourdomain.co.uk domain located on your system, to ourdomain.co.uk located on our system (SBS 2008 with Exchange Server)

My concern is that if Mail Forwarding is indeed used here, then we will have to create Mail Forwarders for each emailaccount@ourdomain.co.uk! If this is true then it is bad news, and not a preferred solution - I hope I have missunderstood

So, in summary, if I set mail.ourdomain.co.uk to point to eUKHosts Mail Server, how will your mail server know how to deliver our emails to our Exchange Server, here in our offices?
