The blaze at Upper Villiers Street in Wolverhampton affected some 35 businesses on the Imex Business Park on January 14. 

At its peak 21 fire service vehicles were responding to the fire.

Among those affected by the blaze was the charity organisation Amazing Grace International Limited, which helps vulnerable and homeless people with care packages of clothes and other essential items.

Now Wolverhampton Council has said it remains "in regular contact" with the affected businesses, including helping to find new properties, temporary offices, and job opportunities for staff members.
