CeeJay Autoworx has said it is &#8220;affected, but not destroyed&#8221; by the fire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">A statement to its customers reads: &#8220;Thanks for all the good wishes following this morning&#8217;s devistating fire at the Star Trading Estate. Thankfully, we suffered only minor damage but of course badly affected by the devistation around us in adjacent units.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;So, we are affected, but not destroyed. We anticipate getting back to &#8220;near normal&#8221; next week after full assessment. Our secondary unit on the estate has not been affected at all, so much of our outstading work will be transferred there in the meantime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;None of the vehicles in our care or in our workshops have been damaged. I will try to contact all customers whose vehicles are with us now or expected to be with us in the next few days to discuss any re-scheduling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;We will post updates over the weekend as more information becomes available. Thank you to everyone for the concern &amp; support.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A garage within the Star Trading Estate has suffered &#8220;minor damage&#8221; due to the early morning fire.
