From the administrators' statement
The Company was founded in 1994 by Neil Haywood and has since established itself as a UK-based specialist in the design, manufacture and fulfilment of temporary point-of-sale displays, bespoke retail packaging and associated fulfilment solutions. With over more than three decades of trading, the business developed extensive expertise in the production of temporary cardboard displays and packaging, earning a reputation for delivering a rapid turnaround from initial concept and design through to final production and distribution.
Operations were conducted primarily from a purpose-built leasehold facility in Denby, Derbyshire, where all key activities were undertaken in-house. The Company's integrated business model encompassed design, prototyping, printing, assembly and distribution, enabling it to maintain quality control and respond efficiently to customer requirements.
The Company employed approximately 32 full-time production staff, supported by an experienced team of inhouse designers and artworkers, together with additional temporary labour engaged as required to meet customer demand.
