ICSM Print Industry News: more print firms close as the economy suffers with the strange case of one print company failing to find a buyer despite a full order book

By Harry Mottram: ICSM has listed more print industry firms going to wall while in the trade journal Print Week Jo Francis has reported on the continued fall out from the collapse of the Manchester Printers Group. Only last summer Deanprint founded in 1890 and an apparently profitable firm was acquired by the Manchester Printers Group only to see the group hit the buffers this year. Deanprint was put up for sale but despite a full order book nobody has come forward to buy it.

As one of the comments of the Print Week’s website said: “Maybe the supposed downturn in the industry that closed Deanprint with a full order book was more likely a downturn in ownership?”

Jo Francis reported: “Earlier this month, a Notice of Intention to Appoint Administrators (NOI) was filed for Deanprint, which protected the business from action by creditors during the process.  However, despite employees being told of 22 potential expressions of interest in the company, Printweek understands that none materialised in a conclusive deal. Yesterday (24 April), Deanprint employees were told the bad news, with the company shuttered and all staff made redundant. A few people remain on site to finish off work in progress.”

Ian Carrotte of ICSM said it was a tragedy that a firm that was a going concern just months previously had been placed in such a position. He said: “ICSM understands that previously Deanprint’s former owners had sold their previous site in Cheadle to a supermarket for redevelopment. The firm were relocated to the present address a short distance away in the Lawnhurst Trading Estate.”
