A spokesperson for Oh Polly said they were dealing with the heating problems..."While we wait for British Gas to connect the premises...all employees have been offered hats, gloves, and scarves...we have brought in several large industrial heaters as a temporary solution...We’re aware of some glitches with the temporary heaters and are fixing these as a priority."...
