Print companies Acorn Press and MPD Offset had ceased trading on Friday, January 31, less than six months on from the two companies completing a merger.
As of 27 February, Huw Powell and Andrew Hook of insolvency practitioners Begbies Traynor have been appointed as joint liquidators for both companies, according to filings at The Gazette.
Managing director Simon Evers told Printweek in February: “It is a difficult day for everyone involved with Acorn Press Swindon and MPD Offset.
“Despite substantial investment in many areas it has not been possible for Acorn or MPD to achieve the required sales volumes.
“A weakening market in the last 12 months materially impacted the business.
