Any fireman who are members fair play they covered our machines with covers and by all accounts did a great job containing the fire and saved what they could hopefully all is ok bar some water damage and smoke lets hope!!!!

Toxic fumes keeping the team out currently

Thanks for all the messages I have passed them on to the guys.

we are still avalible via email and via our number for customers to contact about there orders and so on.

The factory and showroom are closed with no timeframe on re-opening yet.

But I can say is we will come back stronger than ever make no mistake about that

Firstly, thanks for all the well wishes, it means a lot.

The fire started next door and soon took hold, when I arrived at 9.00 ish flames we're coming out of the roof and smoke filling the skyline, we left at 2.00 am when the firemen had got the blaze under control. Can't thank or praise the firemen and ladies for the efforts to save B3. Unfortunately next doors wasn't so lucky, they have lost everything.

This morning and viewing in daylight - there is a lot of smoke damage and the obvious water. Will take a week or so to evaluate and cone up with a plan, but plan we will and come back stronger / harder / bigger / better

just got to come up with a bat design worthy of the name Phoenix - suggestions welcome.

After a long night and a pretty (No Swearing Please) day, I'm going to bed!

Blimey, just seen this, sounds as though it could have been a lot, lot worse.

Here's hoping B3 is back up and running asap

Just read on Facebook how much damage there was/is - not good at all! Hope you guys get back to business soon. How was all the willow on site is it all gone as well?

Really bad news guys, really hope you are back on your feet soon.

I sent my bat for weight reduction and refurb at the weekend and is out for delivery to you today. I've emailed and pm'd but understand youve got a million and one more important things to do right now. If someone could let me know if someone will be there to receive it this week/send it back or if i need to get the courier to somehow cancel the delivery and return it to me. No rush in letting me know though!

Unfortunate thing to happen, as long as no harm came to any person there is a positive result at the end of it.

Crikey. Here's hoping you chaps are back on your feet pronto. Cricket's better with B3 in it.

Hi Guys,

I'm just curious as to how things are going, and how you are managing to get back on your feet. I hope all is well, and ultimately everyone has escaped unscathed - I can't abide the thought of scorched-Bacon :)

Hi Chaps,

Just a quick update - we are having to close B3.

Only joking!

Thankfully nobody was hurt and the things that we have lost can be replaced. We have picked ourselves up, dusted ourselves down and are ready to move on up.

Things are looking brighter, we have temporarily moved to a new unit (Unit 9, behind the old factory), we hope to be back in unit 10 within 12 months, we have a brand new CNC machine being delviered the first week of August, new sanders, extraction etc.

We hope to be back up to full production by 10th of August

Thanks for all the messages of support.

Streaky

Good to hear streaky. After seeing how well your bats perform when I've been using them I'm sure there will be additional enquiries after this summer!
