The private callers must be witholding their number (nothing to do with being ex-directory). Tell them to prefix your number with 1470.

1470 = release calling number
141 = withold calling number

But this doesn't work on a switchboard and there is no way round it. All you can do is tell them to get their switchboard sorted. There's no excuse for this these days.
