The promise to rebuild by the Hamids is an act of resilience that must be commended

Nov 01, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor,
Please allow me the space and time to offer my deepest regrets and sympathy to the owners and staff of the Regent Street businesses that suffered losses as a result of fire recently, particularly, the Hamid family, who no doubt have suffered a telling blow in the loss of two businesses in the space of weeks.
It is very sad when you have worked hard and put so much effort into something and then have it taken away in a flash by unforeseen circumstances, this I know, as I, like many others have suffered too in a similar fashion.
No doubt, the impact of such a loss will be felt also by those that earned a livelihood from the goods and services offered by these businesses, especially the staff and their families.
Some of them might find new jobs, while others might not be so fortunate. Whilst the Hamids have stated their intention to rebuild other businesses owners are still undecided. For this the Hamids should be commended and we should also offer them strong words of encouragement for the amount of resilience shown and their continued demonstration of faith in themselves, their staff and the economy.
