When I first noticed it mid-morning from street level I thought for a moment from the size of it that it was an unusual cloud formation. Photos appeared among NextDoor messages; the Warwick Courier website had a brief report; the BBC Coventry & Warwickshire news page reported that the fire service was dealing with a blaze and explosions at Leeson Polymers. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.2741694,-1.5379557,3a,68.9y,58.25h,85.2t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sHC-BbKQL4f496vdzgfuUYQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en The address given, Juno Drive, was perhaps where the fire service was working from. The company's website ("temporarily closed") gives its address as Hermes Close, a winding drive serving a number of medium-sized units on an industrial estate off Tachbrook Park Drive.
