Making Time 28 | Addressing The Fire19 Jul 202400:16:50

In this update, we share the dramatic events following a massive fire near our facility in Huyton, Liverpool. Our business was impacted by the fire at a nearby commercial recycling plant, which prompted a swift response from the Merseyside and Chester fire services. Over the past week, we had to halt our operations, leading to a backlog in production and some smoke-damaged stock. As we strive to catch up, we discuss our recovery efforts, including offering smoke-damaged items at reduced rates and considering a move to a safer facility. We express our heartfelt gratitude for the support from our community and outline our plans to get back on track.

Chapters:
00:00 A Week of Challenges
00:18 The Fire Incident
01:53 Immediate Response
05:53 Impact on Business Operations
08:00 Recovery and Moving Forward
