00:06morning for yourself. This is your business behind? Yeah. Building business?
00:09It's building. What's the business called sir? HMS Building Services. Yeah, well what
00:14was the first year? Then you got a call in the early hours saying there was a
00:17fire or? Somebody, he said he's a taxi driver. Yeah. He told me about two o'clock. Okay.
00:23There is a fire in your unit. Yeah. And I came here and there was a lot of fires. He was
00:29still up fully, yeah. I mean, your heart must just go when you see that, you know
00:35what I mean? All that, because it's. At the same time, fire brigades came and they
00:39asked me to go outside. They won't let me come back inside. Yeah, yeah. And you've had a
00:46glimpse inside. It's, you know, the building's a mess on the outside, but
00:50it's not just the outside, it's the inside as well, isn't it? You've lost trucks, machinery,
00:56diggers. Yeah, digger dumpers and a lot of other tools. Well, there's even a tractor in there that had been
01:04restored. Yeah, and that's, yeah. Hopefully, maybe we salvage, salvage that, you know.
01:09So, what next for you, sir? I guess it's a case of insurance in and it kind of,
01:16the phoenix rises from the ashes, sort of. Yeah, we didn't talk to the insurance yet. Yeah, yeah.
01:22We'll check the next door, where the fires came. Yeah. We'll ask them about their insurance.
01:28Because there's a car business on the end, isn't there? Yeah, I think they're coating the cars. Yeah.
01:34That's separate to you, isn't it? Yeah, that's not related to us. Yeah, and they've had a number of vehicles lost as well.
01:42Yeah, a number of new vehicles burned over there. Yeah, yeah. How long have you been based there? About four years.
01:47Yeah, and four years trading or you've been working a lot? We are about 12 years in trading.
01:52In the city, yeah? Yeah, yeah. Oh, wow, okay. So, a well-established business then, you know what I mean?
01:59Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, all the best to you, sir, and hopefully you can get yourself up and running
02:05sooner rather than later, yeah.
