I used a website to sell some BTC (https://bit29.com/sy/web/) it seemed legitimate and was top of the search results on yahoo. I sent 2.45 BTC to an address provided by the site yet recieved no money. I can see from blockchain that it is sat in a wallet and has not been touched. Is their any way to get my BTC back? Or to track down who might own that wallet ID? 

I did notice that when you put in a sell order and clicked to proceed on the website it gave a different BTC address to send the coins to each time.

Anyone any suggestions?

Cheers

I don't think there are possibilities to get it back as you have clearly accepted to transfer to some unknown bitcoin address. This is the point where everyone should be very careful while selecting the trader for buying or selling. Before trade need to know about the clear history of the trader along with trust percentage provided by users
