GUESTS warmed to the opening of a new showroom!
The Fireplace Warehouse has seen a six-fold increase in staff since it was set up and has just moved into a new site on Accrington Road in Burnley.
Directors Mark Townsend and Adrian Mason launched their business idea at a car-boot sale and operated with a van and an exhibition stand for 18 months before converting part of their warehouse into a showroom.
The company now employs 18 full-time staff, has a turnover approaching £2 million.
