BARBECUE equipment manufacturers Rectella International Ltd are back in business.

The news comes exactly two weeks after a spectacular fire destroyed or damaged two thirds of the premises in Bancroft Road, Burnley.

Charcoal is still smouldering in the warehouse section, but the production room where the instant barbecues and instant lighting charcoal is manufactured was left intact.

A company spokesman praised the 100 workforce.

He said: "The staff has been fantastic. Everyone has pulled together and it is a tribute to them that production is up and running so soon."
