We transferred our IT managed support contract to CCS in 2016 and have been extremely happy with the service provided. They are always ready to help in any emergency and have never let us down.
Better and faster service and much better pricing than the last local company we used.
The support team at CCS completely upgraded all 15 of our computers within 2 days, which was was done with almost zero down time.

Always excellent service and very pleasant people to visit

Still one of my favourite 2nd hand electronic shops brilliant selection ranging from the classic console and games to the later ones and fair priced to

Great service and super friendly staff.
2019.07.31 15:03
The CEX shops in NI seem a lot cleaner than England. They also can be bothered to present clean hardware not stuff that has enough dna on it to save humanity.
2019.08.14 17:20
Get what you want and dont get ripped off. Great for games and phones etc.
2019.07.25 21:32

2019.07.17 09:10
This company does not honour their loyalty scheme as i had points from a PS4 which mysteriously disappeared and staff are not very friendly. Can't see this store lasting too long as it could have potential with the right management returns system and a loyalty scheme that they honour.
2019.01.26 19:16

Reviews about «Currys PC World»
Had gone in looking for a new hard disk for a computer, but didn't find what I wanted. Could have ordered one but couldn't wait. Staff were helpful and plenty of other stock. Lots of things under one roof.
2019.08.09 17:45
I just had a terrible customer service experience at Ballymena. I bought a TV box last week, when I bought it I asked the guy "if I have any problems can I bring it back?". He said "Yes the returns policy is on the receipt." My fault for not reviewing the returns policy correctly, but when I brought it back for a refund, the same guy told me I could not get a refund because it works in store. I wasn't offered a credit note and I didn't even get an apology for my trouble. Terrible customer service, I will buy elsewhere from now on.
2019.08.05 15:58
Great help when we actually got Sarah! Only one members of staff available who knew anything about TV's so had to wait until Sarah finished her lunch! But worth waiting for as she was able to advise and explain her stock! Top marks to her.
2019.04.16 22:54
Called into Ballymena store to try and get a problem sorted with my Samsung which I bought in Curry's Glasgow Airport over 2 years ago. Visited the Know How desk and Amy & David were absolutely fantastic!! I can't praise their knowledge or customer service enough. Over a period of about 1.5 hours they never lost their smiles or patience and managed to find a fix for my problem. Only problem is....I can't find a contact email address to let the head office or even the local manager of the store know of my comments. Any way.. well done Amy & David.
2019.06.16 18:52
Currys in Ballymena....we where buying a laptop for our daughter. Got a guy to serve us his name was Stephfan....very helpful young guy..explained everything to our daughter....he was very knowledgeable . Would recommend him to anyone needing to buy a laptop....😁

Reviews about «Living Rivers Lighthouse Hostel»
There are many homeless folk I see nowadays sleeping rough in the streets of Belfast. Why they chose to not travel to get themselves sorted in terms of getting that support into getting themselves into permanent accommodation boggles my mind.
This place had plenty of spaces available when I stopped here for about a month. Staff are professional and even though I didn't want to have to be seen by the local doctor in Ballymena what with not having any history of being in bad health, they still went the extra mile to have contacted my current GP to let him know that I was no longer living at the address I was living at for the past 14 years before dropping into here.
Extra bills include food and the use of laundry facilities ran up to around about £70 odd a fortnight on top of having rent paid via benefits. 24hr CCTV for piece of mind in terms of security both from within and outside the vicinity of the hostel.
It was a roof over my head until such time I found alternative permanent accommodation. Certainly prevented me from sleeping on the streets. When your that desperate to be re-homed. Beggars can't be choosers and if there is no spaces in the city to where you were living in by other hostels. The best option if anyone is that serious to be looking to be supported into permanent accommodation is to travel to hostels no matter how far out it is, to get to receiving that support to finding permanent accommodation..
2019.02.10 13:05
As good as it gets if you find yourself homeless. Warm , compassionate, non-judgemental staff.
2018.09.04 23:00
The Lighthouse in Ballymena is such a cool hostel the Staff the Residents are all 100% brilliant people I myself am a resident and love it here so a big thank you to u all..

Reviews about «Riada Resourcing»
A joke of a recruitment company! Was offered a job thru them on a Thur to start that Monday but got called straight after and told they had a better job for me within Riada and to come back the next day to discuss. Every week they put me back another week but lead me to believe that the job was mine for nearly a month. The owner of the company Francis's is rude, unorganised and extremely unprofessional. I would advise everyone to steer clear of this joke of a company

Disgustingly horrible post office. The staff are verbally abusive in here but if you try and defend yourself it's YOU who gets told off. Staff gang up on customers who they don't like. Staff use derogatory terms like the "R word" towards customers who they're ganging up on. Just avoid this post office at all costs you won't be sorry.

Reviews about «Barnardo's shop»
This has to be the best charity shop in Ballymena. It looks lovely, the clothes are colour coordinated and they have a great selection of top quality clothes and shoes and bags. It looks like a quality high street shop but the prices are cheaper, I've had some real bargains from here! The staff are friendly and welcoming too.
2019.03.19 23:11
This shop is trying to be more like a high street retail shop than a charity shop. It is a well organised shop, kept very tidy etc. However the items are way overpriced. This rule of if the item has a price tag, then it is half the marked price?? Well that certainly didn't seem to apply to an item that had a reduced sticker on it. Original price tag was £11.99, the shop priced it at £5.99. However they forgot to remove the sale tag which showed that the item was reduced and purchased at £2 by the donator. Was still being charged £5.99! Preowned T Shirts from Bon Marche £4.99 and £5.99. Yet go next door and buy a brand new one for £7-£8.
Brand new handbag donated to the shop from New Look, price tag of £22.99. Pen writing for a reduced price scored out with a black marker. Barnardos trying to sell the item for the price on the tag.
Go up the street and a few shops before Wyse Buys is a wee charity shop selling similar items and alot of brand new items for half the price of Barnardos.
2018.04.29 15:23
If could give less I would assuming that if your non white you would steal from a charity shop after you have already made a purchase just because you don't look like a local.

Reviews about «The Mortgage Shop Ballymena»
I would definitely recommend The Mortgage Shop Ballymena. It was recommended to me by my sister who had also praised Kathy.
I can't thank Kathy enough. She has been so helpful and patient with my situation - always willing to lend an ear and share advice. Her communication is first class, and I found that she was always available when I needed to speak to her.
A first class service!
Thanks again!
2019.12.20 10:51
As first time buyers, my wife and I were a little inexperienced with the whole procedure. Speaking with Kathy, though, at The Mortgage Shop, Ballymena, put our minds at ease. She was brilliant, professional and personable. We had to go through 2 lenders before we got accepted by a 3rd. It was a stressful couple of months getting it all sorted but Kathy was determined and blasted on to finally land us with a mortgage. I can't thank her enough for her help. Would highly recommend.
2019.07.03 10:01
I would highly recommend asking for Kathy. Kathy provided us with an exceptional service very professional and efficiently informed us from start to finish. It was completely hassle free due to her extensive knowledge of products and her hard work.
2019.04.18 20:02
I highly recommend Kathy from The Mortgage Shop for the professional, effecient and timely completion of my application. Wonderful service. Thank you very much and Best Wishes for the future.
2019.05.14 15:56
The Service i received from Kathy in the mortgage shop was 1st class. Nothing was to much trouble for her. My mortgage was slightly different from the norm and it was also a 1st time mortgage but still kathy was able to sort everything out for me. One of the nicest ladies who wasn't long started at the company. The mortgage shop are very lucky to her as part of their team. The whole process was pretty plain sailing. I was told one day that's me complete and i just couldn't believe how easy and simple it was. Thanks again Kathy. Your kidness and help was very much appreciated. Highly recommended

Data recovery in the laboratory will cost from £149 and last up to 2 weeks.
Stop using the device where you used to keep the deleted data.
Work of the operating system, installation of programs, and even the ordinary act of connecting a disk, USB drive or smartphone to the computer will create new files that might overwrite the deleted data - and thus make the recovery process impossible. The best solution would be to shut down the computer of power off your phone and outline an action plan. If turning off the device is impossible, try to use it as little as possible.
Make up a list of devices where the necessary files have been saved.
Try to remember the chain of events from creating the files to deleting them. You may have received them by email, downloaded from the Internet, or you may have created them on another PC and then brought them home on a USB drive. If the files in question are personal photos or videos, they can still be available on the memory card of your camera or smartphone. If you received the information from someone else - ask them for help. The sooner you do it the more chances you have to recover what is lost.
Use the list of devices to check them for the missing files, their backup copies or, at least, the chance to recover the deleted data from such devices.
