From the creative agencies of "Silicon Beach" to seven miles of seafront full of camera cards, Middlesbrough generates a lot of data — and we keep it recoverable.

Around 38 miles from the Linthorpe coast to the bench — so we've made posting in simple, insured and tracked.
Middlesbrough has around 148,000 people, Teesside University, and process industries, engineering, digital and a fast-growing games cluster. Between them they generate a great deal of data that would be painful to lose — dissertations and research, client work and case files, business records, and the family photographs nobody thought to back up. It sits on drives that fail without warning.
Most failed drives still hold their data perfectly. The fault is almost always in the electronics, the heads or the file system — not in the data itself. It just needs lifting off safely, by people who do this every day. We are about 38 miles away, so most people post the device in fully insured. It is simple, it is tracked, and we cover the return.
Recovering data since 2002. Free written diagnostic, a fixed quote before any work begins, and no fix, no fee on most jobs.

I would highly recommend Newcastle Data Recovery to anyone needing a Professional Data Recovery Service. My Toshiba Laptop failed while on the train one afternoon. There was no warning and it did not get dropped. Newcastle Data Recovery recovered everything from Toshiba Laptop within 48 hours. I was relieved as I am a self employed graphic designer and I had an Illustrator project on the hard drive.
We had a portable Western Digital Passport hard drive that was dead and would not connect to PC. I would like to say that the Recovery service was perfect from start to end, they managed to recover most of the data that we needed which was great.
