Sony DADC today issued a business continuity plan following the blaze, which has left hundreds of indie labels devastated. According to a statement released by PIAS, the company is "back up and running from a new control room in Enfield" - the London borough where the original warehouse was located.
"Sony DADC have identified a temporary distribution partner [yet-to-be-announced] and it is envisaged that they will be in a position to pick, pack and ship orders in the course of next week," the statement continues.
"Our key focus at the moment is to get things re-manufactured and we are working with our labels on the best way of doing that is -- identifying which lines are turning over the fastest and getting them to start re-manufacturing again," Nick Hartley, chief operating officer of PIAS Entertainment Group, told Billboard.biz.
"At the same time we looking in our Brussels warehouse and [speaking to] other labels in Europe, if they don't go through us, to see what stock there is to be able to ship back from Europe into the U.K. in order to keep supplies going," he said.
