Disruption

To all of our ‘Sunny’ customers.

We want to inform you that we had a fire at our central HQ last night in Naas (April 17th). Thankfully, the premises were empty then, so there were no injuries.

While we lost some equipment, the damage was restricted to one area and there was minimal impact on our customers’ garments.

We are running again in a limited way. Our HQ is currently closed to the public until further notice.

So how does this impact you, our customers?

If your garments are delayed, we’ll call you over the next 2 to 3 days to let you know the status. 

We’d ask our customers not to come to our HQ (the Factory) as you cannot access the premises.

  1. If you were due to collect anything from any of our depots yesterday, these should be ready for collection as anticipated.
  2. There are some items which we hadn’t started work on. We’ll get to these with the machines at our other locations, but it will be delayed for several days.
  3. There are some items which were completed but will need to be redone. 
  4. There were a small number of items which were unfortunately destroyed. We’ll be in contact with these customers directly to keep you up to date and to outline measures we will take to make it right.

For emergencies, please call your local ‘Sunny’ shop and they will be able to update you on the status of your garments.

We’d like to thank you for your understanding and patience as we try to navigate our way through the next few days. 

FAQ

  1. Were my garments impacted? The vast majority of garments were not affected by the fire. They will, however, need to be redone to ensure that they are returned to you in the condition you would expect. A small number of garments were destroyed; once we have identified all of these, we will contact the impacted customers directly. We hope that this will be by April 21st.
