Sheffield Fire - Mac#1?
Just caught the local news and it said an umbrella factory has gone up in flames and the fire spread to two local businesses one of whuch is a kit car
company. It looked like the Mac#1 industrial estate.
Any ideas.

Any news from anyone who knows what happened????

I think the umbrella guy owns the rear half of the estate.
Just mailed them to find out. Didn't want to contact them on their mobiles just in case.
Fingers crossed.

The umbrella facory was well insured - plenty of cover, although I hear it went up well.
Sorry.
Genuinely hope those guys aren't affected - I see nothing but good things said about them.

Had a 10 sec phone conversation with Mark this morning. They are all Ok but it sounds bad.
Mark said the place is gutted, but has also said they will be back in business as soon as they can.
I'm not sure how much or what they saved.
Hope there back soon....
Good luck guy's

Nightmare for them! Only bought a few bits and pieces from them during the build, but always got top service (parts ordered at 4pm arriving the next
morning etc etc)
Lets hope they get back up and running ASAP!

It was bad. i called in for a brew but didnt expect to witness that! Truly horrifying. There was very little time to try and rescue anything. We all
thought it was just a bit of Tuesday excitement and all would be well in less than an hour. How wrong could you be.

Once met a management guru bloke. Said some interesting stuff, lots of things in life are perspective and if you have the right perspective everything
is an opportunity!
Good luck rebuilding.
