I’m at my shop in Matlock (1 The Ritz, Steep Turnpike, Matlock DE4 3DP) Mon-Thurs only, 10am to 6pm. It’s in the same building as Maazi and opposite Hall Leys Park. There is limited parking on Causeway Lane and in the layby outside my shop.

Phone me to arrange drop-off/collection at my home in Farnsfield (White Cottage, Main Street, Farnsfield NG22 8EF) most evenings, Fridays and weekends.

WHAT ABOUT ME?

Steve’s Film Transfer was formed in the 2010s by me, Steve Argent, a former rugby player, newspaper political journalist, NHS public relations director and all-round film buff, computer nerd, amateur (very!) tennis player and horse rider.

I continue to make customers and friends smile by bringing their long-unseen footage to the light, putting VHS and camcorder tapes, silent cine films, vinyl and audio cassettes onto DVDs, CDs, memory sticks and the internet.

My shop is in Matlock, Derbyshire, appropriately enough in the former Ritz Cinema building, which was converted to shops and offices in 2005.

I also work from home in Farnsfield, Nottinghamshire, while my customers come from all over the world.

I still enjoy eating a lot of ice cream, especially mince pie flavour, and ramble on about losing weight and getting fitter!

“Steve’s shop was a fantastic find. My old VHS tapes and my late father’s old cine films transferred to a memory stick brought back priceless memories. Thank you again Steve for an amazing job. Would highly recommend.”

Sandra Cutts, Nottingham

“Absolutely amazing and very friendly service. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for Steve. I’ve had business cards, certificates, receipts, documents etc designed and printed. Excellent quality and very affordable prices.”

Donka Stone, Matlock artist

“I discovered Steve in 2022 when I required a transfer from a camcorder tape to DVD, which was completed quickly and at a very reasonable price.”

George Grignon, Wirksworth

“I’ve had lots of work done by Steve over the years, from copying to transferring slides onto stick or discs. Always good quality and price and on time. Why go anywhere else when you get perfection every time.”

Margaret Clarke, Matlock

“The cine has been wonderful. I started doing this to help my 96 year old Mum with her memory and we have been watching them together and she knows a lot of the names of the people. A side benefit is that I have been able to share the footage with family and friends who appear in the films, or with younger relatives to be able to see footage of their parents who have since passed away. So these conversions are bringing a lot of joy.”

Morgan Morton, Woking, Surrey

“I used this service to transfer old 50+ year old cine films to MP4s. Easy comms, great service, fair price and so easy. I would not use anywhere else from now on and cannot recommend enough. Thanks.”

Darren Trevatt, West Midlands

“Very, very helpful. Excellent customer service and quality of work. Thank you.”

Jane Pomphrey, Derbyshire

“Steve was so helpful when I wanted to make a DVD from the many recordings I had on my phone. He gave easy to implement suggestions on how we could do it for the bests results. I have used Steve many times now. Thanks to him, my children now have many DVDs to watch, looking back on their childhood: priceless!”

Cheryl Frost, Matlock
