TWO businessmen saw their stock go up in smoke after a fire hit their factory units in Kidderminster.

A fire broke out on Churchfields Business Park in Clensmore Street at around 2.25am on Wednesday last week.

Shams UK manager, Martin Evans, said they had lost two month's stock while Martin Jones, owner of Pine Shed and Fencing, said they had lost around £5,000 in timber.

Police spokeswoman, Lynne Masters, said the fire was being treated as arson.
