Several Million Pounds of Sales Generated by Earthquake

Several million pounds of sales have been generated from damage caused by last week?s earthquake. 

The quake struck in the early hours of Wednesday 27^th February 2008 and was recorded as the strongest tremor experienced in Britain for over 25 years.

The epicentre of the earthquake was located in Market Rasen, which is approximately 15 miles East of Gainsborough; however the effect was felt as far as Wales, Scotland and London. 

The earthquake measured 5.2 on the Richter scale and caused structural damage to hundreds of properties in surrounding areas, all of which fall into the Gelder Group?s trading area. 

The Gelder Group?s Insurance Repair and Renovation Division received their first call at 3:05am on the 27^th February, and have been pretty much flat out ever since. Coverage of the group?s workmen attending at damaged properties was shown on both regional and national news.
