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!

Are Sothebys and Charterhouse their largest customers?

3rd February 2010 - I have been told by a reliable source that the large print management company called Charterhouse are a big customer of Midas Press.

... and I have also been told that they print Sotheby's auction house catalogues.

can either of these companies confirm or deny this and also state whether they will use the new company, Midas Press PLC! Picture of the Charterhouse offices above (they look expensive!)

...please, comments are welcome!
