So what miracle happened here exactly?

They hired a British company to oversee the recovery from a disaster?

I am pretty certain this is a typical post-Brexit piece about the EU not needing these British companies.

Also Maidenhead is a corporate paradise, not some village in the middle of nowhere afraid of loosing jobs.

Perhaps calling it an heroic effort would suit your taste more?

"Those teams rebuilt around 4,000 servers and 45,000 PCs and other devices" over 10 days (according to another article), while the company "ground to a halt".

I don't know about you, but if I had a team that pulled that out, I would have a deep respect for their service and contribution to the business.

Maybe I am missing something, but I didn't see anywhere where this was a company brought in, I am under the impression it is the company's internal staff recovering from ransomware, and now being laid off.
