BREAKING: High Wycombe print outfit goes bust
In the last few months ICSM Credit has been urgently contacting its members about the impending insolvency of Printed Solutions of High Wycombe. ICSM Credit understands not everyone managed to extract their money owed with one supplier hit for £50,000 while others refused credit to the print company after initial concerns were raised last year.
Poor trading this winter has been blamed for the demise of the company who styled themselves as reliable and honest along with the old chestnut Brexit plus a bad debt last month which pushed them over the edge. However, ICSM Credit members raised the alarm earlier last year and Ian Carrotte of the credit intelligence group advised firms to only accept payment up front and to call in any overdue invoices immediately.
“By and large this worked,” said Ian, “with some members telling us that without this advice they would have taken a hit which could have caused them considerable problems. It shows the value of being in ICSM Credit as a safeguard against bad debts.”
At the time of writing Printed Solutions were still answering their phones and the website was still operational which has raised eyebrows in some quarters as to the future of the firm. It is thought that Antony Batty and Company has been named as a possible administrator.
On their website the firm states: “We’re Printed Solutions. We’re High Wycombe-based, and printing and integrated marketing is what we do. To some companies, service is just a word, but not to us. From creation to completion, we offer a professional, reliable and friendly service, always at highly competitive prices. Printed Solutions has seen a solid growth and continues to grow by providing quality work, keeping ahead of changes within the industry and by listening to our customers. We are responsible, friendly, honest, reliable and customer focused.”
