Notice of Creditors Meeting & Proposal for a Partnership Voluntary Arrangement

9th March 2010 - Today I've received a copy of the notice of the creditors meeting from a friend - thanks Deidre - much appreciated.

The meeting is scheduled to be on Wednesday 24th March (unfortunately I can't be there as i'm away in Switzerland smelting my golden Rolls Royce)

There is also the paperwork showing that they are proposing a "Partnership Voluntary Arrangement".

There is also the Creditor listing which runs over seventeen pages. It will take too long to put the whole thing on one post so I will try and do a page a day and I will start at the end which has the total - a massive £2,301,872.65 owing, including the poor milkman (Dairy Crest) who was owed £1,220.40

New Midas logo?

4th March 2010 - Thank you to the anonymous contributor who says they are a former customer of the Midas Press (partnership) and that they work in advertising. They have pointed out that they are probably developing a NEW Midas Press PLC logo to go with the new website.

His (or her) suggestion is using a Golden colour to reflect the Midas name together with a large M - and they sent me a visual to put on the blog as a suggestion - something like the picture opposite they suggest - familiar?

Sunday Times recognises Black Sun PLC

2nd March 2010 - In this weekend's Sunday Times there was a supplement called "100 Best Small Companies to Work For". Number 58 in this prestigious listing is Black Sun PLC a communications agency based in London. Pictured in the article were some smiley people from Black Sun enjoying a party.

Black Sun used to use Midas Press as a printer and with a simple internet search I found that Midas had printed work for Black Sun including theHays Group Reports and Accounts, Punch tavern Report and Black Suns own rather lavish brochure for their move to a bishops palace in Fulham in 2008.

I am writing to Mr Paul Edison (pictured) to ask whether he will supporting the new Midas Press PLC or whether the excellent treatement of his staff which has been recognised by the Sunday Times extends to that of his suppliers creditors and their employees. We all look forward to his reply.
