A small group of workers, who the Echo understands to be from an insurance company has been walking the site today.

The insurance company will be making decisions around the demolition of the destroyed warehouse.

Despite having signs on the warehouse suggesting that it is owned by Grenham, a construction clothing and PPE company, the company sold off the warehouse to Polystar Plastics, around three months before the blaze.
