The Midas Press goes bust blog...

I have set up this blog so that past customers, users, employees and suppliers and local people of Farnborough can post their reactions and disapointment about Midas Press going bust.

It maybe that there are other employees with grievances against the owners - Partners Derek Jarman, Daren Carter and the very junior and jumped up partner Steve Oliver. It may also be that you are one of our past and very prestigious customers that we used to do work for? ...it may be that you are a supplier who Midas Press hasn't paid for months and months whilst (possibly) the partners have been paying themselves! Anyway, feel free to comment - this is an open forum and all opinions are welcome - although please bear in mind that we don't want anything defamatory or libellous said.

We are particularly looking forward to comments from the partners themselves.

Charterhouse - Ethical or not?

8th February 2011 - Today I shall be writing to Gary Mahoney who is the Chief Executive of Charterhouse Print management.

Under the section on their website called Our Culture, they state "In our business activities we are partnership-based and ethically guided" .

I'll be asking Mr Mahoney what his policy about using Phoenix companies is and whether they consider that "Ethical". Also, given the fact that they say they work on partnership basis, how about the fact that their partners (print finishers, paper merchants etc) have just been taken for a ride!

    surely you won't get a response from a print management company about this. their business model is designed to squeeze printers into the ground through their cheap prices and rebate schemes. they will just take advantage of the situation to get even better prices watch midas plc go bust for a second time and then move on to their next victim

    Correct me if I am wrong but is nt it Derek Jarman and Daren Carter that have left the bad debt and not The Midas Press PLC. Negative and damaging comments about a potentially new PLC could have lasting effects that employees will not thank you for.

    Have you also considered that DJ and DC will be personally bankrupt and all you are doing is pottentially damaging the prospects of some the good hard working people of Farnborogh.
