Company hit by huge Hyde blaze is 'back in business'

The owners of a firm whose building was gutted in a blaze which swept through a Hyde business park have declared 'we are back in business'.

The headquarters of design firm Visual Architects suffered extensive damage in the blaze a week ago.

But now the company has revealed they are back up and running.

A spokesman said: "We are back in business.

"After the devastating news of the fire on Monday, our stoic team has been working around the clock to regroup and reorganise our main production methods.

"As a result, we have secured the facilities and equipment needed to maintain our production at full operational capacity.

"We would like to give a huge thank you to all of our staff and friends and family, Tameside Council, suppliers, competitors and partners who have all rallied behind us to send us back into action."
