Best way to sell Vodafone shares ASAP (rump of Eircom floatation 2000)

I invested in Eircom shares back in 2000 and still have the Vodafone portion left. Now my husband has been put on protective notice and we need to sell them as quickly as possible. I know the timing is not great but we've no choice. I have no stock broker account and have no idea how to sell them and minimise the costs. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

A while back I did mine through their recommended pathway with is Computershare (uk), Telephone share dealing section in uk.
Phone them and have the cert numbers and qty to hand and I found them relatively cheap to do the transaction and got paid by return, once you have despatched the certs to them.
Number was 0044 (0?)870 703 0084
Not sure about the (0)? in above.

Think I'd sell my €100 worth for sterling if the € commission is €32 and £stg is only £15.
