Leon Gregson, Huddersfield

Leeds Data Recovery saved me from a huge bill after my Mac failed with some crucial files on it. One company advised the data would not be accessible, but Tony and his team sorted it out for me in just a few days. Awesome service.

Leon Gregson, Huddersfield

Jordan Stannard, Harrogate

Tony and the rest of the Leeds Data Recovery team did an excellent job of recovering data that was considered to be unrecoverable by 4 other companies.

Jordan Stannard, Harrogate

Shaun Forrester, Halifax

Thanks for the hard drive recovery! I dropped my Seagate on the floor and it cracked the case and it made a strange whirring noise and would not find on the data when connected to my laptop. A highly easy and effective data recovery service though, and I have all my business files back so could not be happier. You don’t back up the back up, so you were a life saver!

Shaun Forrester, Halifax

Jitesh Patel, Bradford

I am happy to report that you have been able to recover all of my missing and deleted data after my iMac got a virus. 10 out of 10 for the service.

Nicky Brown, Wakefield, UK

Wow, I can’t express my delight at the service I got, you are the best Data Recovery Service in the UK. You managed to fix my PC after it got affected by malware and I thought I was not getting my computer back how it was beforehand. But somehow you managed to salvage all my data files and even cleaned it up for me. My words don’t cover the brilliant service I got.

Nicky Brown, Wakefield

Alex Baker, Leeds, UK

Thank you very much for your help in data salvaging our precious photos on a corrupted SD card. It was so easy to send it off in the post and it came back so quick. How toy managed a full file recovery of our precious data, I’ll never know. It’s been a pleasure to deal with yourselves, and communication has been excellent.

Alex Baker, Leeds

John Flannery, Leeds

Thank you for keeping me calm after my buffalo external hard drive failed. A brilliant service and I’m so glad I called and did not continue trying that free data recovery software which was causing me to lose even more data. You were very professional and your level of customer services was refreshing in this day and age.
