Events agency loses motorbikes in arson attack

A fire which seriously damaged 5 commercial buildings in a Corby industrial estate also destroyed a number of Honda motorcycles.

The fire was thought to have been started deliberately after ram raiders drove into the building.

The blaze started at events agency KCS. John Walker from KCS said: “We are understandably distressed by what has happened and also that something of this magnitude has affected KCS through the sheer reckless behaviour of others. Despite this however, we are putting all our efforts into rebuilding the business and replacing the assets so that we can continue to provide Honda with the events service and support we have been proud to deliver over the last 13 years. We have been inundated with calls from well-wishers and cannot thank them and Honda enough for their support. We may have been burned but it’s business as usual.”

KCS is Honda UK’s dedicated events agency and had been storing several bikes which had recently been used on the company’s stand at a motorcycle show in London.
