Swift successful recovery of Data - thank you

Alistair
Oldham, United Kingdom

Super recovery of very important data from a very old memory stick. Superb communications and very simple effective work Greatly appreciated - life saving in fact

Mark
United Kingdom

Thank you SO much for your great work in recovering my data from my USB memory stick. I had no recent backup (I know!!) and a lot of very valuable files which would have taken hours to rewrite. From the moment I spoke to Will, I began to have hope. No false promises, clear outline of costs, timescales and possible outcomes. Fortunately, I was one of the 97% "lucky" ones. All but 13 (unimportant) files restored and returned to me within 48 hours. So pleased I found you!! THANK YOU just doesn't do it really. Can only recommend you at every possible opportunity. x
