Default Help needed please for a v unhappy Markskaaa :(

As you know I got my car back from the bodyshop less than 2 months ago after some kind soul had decided to drive into the passenger side.
Got back to my car last night to find that there is a lovely u-shaped dent/crease in my new passenger door!

Struggling to show the problem on the pics, but hopefully you can make it out...

I now need help/advice to try & find someone who may be able to repair this.

As you can imagine I am absolutely gutted

I had a dent removed by a similar company which i'd collected on the way back from Normandy when the car was one month old. They did a good job, would say that it's worth hanging around them though, to keep an eye on what they're doing.

Well the weather finally cleared up long enough for the Dent Devils guy to come round and perform his magic.
He spent over 2 hours on the car and did a pretty good job.
Unfortunately some of the positions of the dents have made it really hard for him to get to So now have to have a think and decide what to do next....
