George Stewart, regional director for SIG, said: “The staff have been phenomenal; throughout the entire process they’ve really worked hard. Thanks to their efforts the branch was able to operate on site from the Wednesday after the fire, albeit with reduced capacity working alongside the construction team who were building the new branch. This helped ensure customers’ needs were met.”
