16th February 2010 - Thank you to the e-mails and Comment that I received. I can at least build up a picture about who is involved in the new "Phoenix" company.
The new management team seem to be as follows:
David Hissey - Main Shareholder and money man. He is the ex partner of Midas Press that retired a few years ago on what was probably quite a healthy pension! He's now back in the driving seat having ousted his previous partner Derek Jarman. Should we feel sorry for Derek Jarman - although he (may- subject to confirmation) be made bankrupt - has he really got nothing? - will it be one of these cases where wealth has been moved to other family members? it will be interesting to see how that develops - any news, just let this site know.
Paul Wells - He's now the Managing Director. Used to work closely with Derek Jarman. I take it they aren't friends now.
Richard Sharman - He's the Financial Director and he was at the old Midas Press (partnership) - he was the one that would never give you a straight answer or if you were a supplier, would never call you back.
Paul Chivers - Production Director - a very competent production man.
Steve Oliver - He used to be the "junior" partner in the partnership before Midas Press went bust and he's obviously run away with his new friends! He's now been de-moted from Junior Associate Partner to be Sales Director of the new Midas Press PLC.
Clive Merit - Commercial Director - I think he's a quite a nice guy but is probably easily lead.
This appears to be the new "TEAM MIDAS" or "PHOENIX FLYERS" - money no object, because we just dumped our liabilities and lost all our debts!

Welcome to the blog
25th January 2010 - Welcome to this new blog which I intend to be a forum for debate about the goings on at the ill-fated Midas Press in Hampshire.
I have set up this blog so that employees and ex employees, customers past and present - including those that have currently got print work in the factory and can't get it out! ...and suppliers and local people of Farnborough can post their reactions and disapointment about Midas Press going bust.
It maybe that there are employees with grievances against the owners - Partners Derek Jarman, Daren Carter and junior partner Steve Oliver and the Financial controller Richard Sharman.
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 (possibly whilst the partners have been paying themselves!) Anyway, feel free to comment. This is an open blog and I'd love to get some feedback and reaction from Daren Carter, Ricahrd Sharman, Derek Jarman or even the maladjusted Steve Oliver.
