"The stock that was lost in the fire is currently being moved by road and air to ensure that we resume a full service as soon as possible.

“We would like to express our thanks to all our customers and suppliers for their support and best wishes. We have even had offers of help from many competitors, which shows that even in these difficult times we are all sticking together.”

Looking ahead, Midland Power plans several significant product launches on its stand at the Executive Hire Show in February.
