@armababy thank you, that is essentially what I have now done.
I followed the testimonials youtube tutorial (Creating a Module:Frontend) making changes as required for my content.
Added a {module}\http\frontendRoutes.php file. Altered the {module}\providers\RouteServiceProvider.php to include the front end route file.
Added a {module}\Http\Controllers{controller} file to handle the actual storage / sending, the storage part being esentially the same as the Admin controller store() method from the above tutorial. Obviously simple for those in the know but I'm happy to have nutted it out.
