UK: Fire at Bedfordshire Growers
"We would like to pay tribute importantly to the professionalism and heroics of the emergency services, most importantly the fire service, who contained the fire and significantly limited the damage caused," stated Stephen Hedderly, MD at Bedfordshire Growers.
"We would also like to praise the support we have had from our customers and employees which enabled both business to be operational by 8am Friday morning. Which bearing in mind the scale of the fire and disruption is an outstanding performance.
"It is also hugely important to say thank you for the enormous amount of offers of support and encouragement from the produce community, this has been both overwhelming and humbling, and we thank you sincerely for those kind and proactive gestures. We are not in a position at this stage to understand the root cause of the incident and are working with the fire investigation services, however it is believed to have started on a trailer which was at the time connected to a loading bay."
