A COMPANY is celebrating its return to premises hit by a major fire in April.

The £200,000 blaze, thought to have been caused by an electrical fault, destroyed the roof, the top floor, equipment and stock at Delmarco in Brewery Lane, Leigh.

The company, which manufactures cleaning and hygiene chemicals, transferred operations to a rented warehouse in Hindley Green during the re-furbishment of the Victorian building.

Owner Jack Harrison and his 14 employees have now moved back and they are looking forward to building-up the business again after a "pause".
