Restore Datashred have been excellent Company

Restore Datashred have been consistently reliable and professional in the services they provide. Their communication is clear, timely, and proactive, and they always ensure collections run smoothly across our sites.
Whenever issues arise, I reach out to the Account Manager Richard Jones who is quick to assist and resolve matters with minimal disruption. Drivers are respectful of site procedures, and the overall service feels well‑managed and dependable.

5 Star Service

Richard Jones has been extremely helpful in dealing with the recycling of our waste products. Previously we organised a courier to collect the waste and bring it to us and then Datashred would collect from us. With Richards help we can organise a courier to collect the waste and deliver directly to Datashred, which stops a build up of waste in our factory. Since this was put in place it has ran seamlessly and Richard is always on hand to help. Great Service all round.

Secure Shredding

I wish to put on record how delighted I have been with the service received from this Company. The professionalism and efficiency from the minute contact was established has been exemplary. I was kept advised of every step of the way and the correspondence set up was first class.
I am truly confident that the confidential waste has been destroyed since it was actually carried out at my premises.

I will certainly be passing your name around my Professional colleagues.

Excellent and friendly service

Excellent and friendly service from the office and admin. Very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble.
The person who came to uplift perhaps needed a bit more confidence about lifting the bags to his lorry.

Great service from start to finish

Great service from start to finish. Price agreed in first call, driver phoned to let me know when he would be arriving to save me staying on all day and confirmation certificate for the shredding sent through the following day. Faultless.
