Jobs secured at printing companies following management buyout


Around 22 jobs have been secured at two printing companies in Swindon following a successful management buyout, a recent news report in the local business media has been able to reveal.

Vertical Trading Ltd and Corinium Continuous Ltd were both subsidiaries of Multisets (UK) Ltd. and were in danger of going under administration after another subsidiary suffered the same fate.

The firms have now been bought through a new holding company Vertical Trading (Europe) Ltd (VTE) in a deal led by the corporate finance team at accountancy firm Bishop Fleming.

Martin Pulley, chief executive of VTE, said: "I am really pleased that we have completed this MBO. Although this has been a tough time for the business, we have protected 22 jobs in the company and have given it the best possible chance to succeed into the future.

"Both businesses have been trading well throughout the period and I have been overwhelmed by the reaction from our suppliers and customers for which I offer our thanks for their support, and give my commitment to continued quality printing based here in Swindon."
