A Newry-based interiors business has been left “devastated beyond belief” after a massive fire tore through part of the Newry North Business Park in the early hours of Friday morning (April 11), severely affecting multiple units.
Sheepbridge Interiors, a family-run business located at Unit F within the park, was among the worst hit.
In a heartfelt statement posted to social media, a spokesperson shared their heartbreak: "Devastated beyond belief. Our family and friends all in this business together, destroyed by fire. Thoughts go out to my staff, my landlord, my business neighbours and our fantastic customers.”
They also extended sincere gratitude to emergency responders, calling them “the pride of our country”.
Despite the devastation, the business has pledged to honour all existing orders and has asked customers for patience during this difficult time.
The post continued: “Early days for thoughts on the future. But all existing orders will be fulfilled. Just bear with us as we go through the next few days.”
Another tenant of the business park, the children’s role play centre Tiddly Town, shared a video of the fire on social media and expressed the emotional toll the night took on them and other business owners.
