“This has been a tremendous achievement by everyone at the site. Without the support and hard work of our employees this would not have been possible. We are also very grateful for the rapid response and dedicated support we received from the Norfolk County Council’s Fire & Rescue Service,” said factory site manager Mike Etherington.
The investigation into the cause of the fire, which took place on 6 May, remains under investigation.
