Administrators have been appointed to liquidate the assets of Butler and Tanner PrintWeek can exclusively reveal.

ok is this good or bad?

guess dolan will not be getting the knighthood he was after for services to british print, i say good riddance to the bloke. problem is ,he will just go off and ruin someone elses life.

im back

This is good! It should mean access to personel information and a proper and appropriate official to deal with queries from former employees and any other interested parties. This should remove control from Dolan/MPI and put it in the hands of a trusted and competent authority.

Anyone who is employed by dolan watch out the man is not interested in the print trade. you will be next. friary press is now on its knees after loosing most of its customers.

makes his statements 2 weeks to be liquidated look rather stupid now! dolan out dolan out dolan out

gary the good news is that money owed will be paid by the government, the bad news is that it will not belong before its a building site.

Goodman Bayliss watch out your next. Looks like we are on the last lap everyone, keep up the fight get to the picket line we need you even if it is only to wave goodbye to DOLANS ASSOCIATES as they are asked to leave the flags will be flying high three cheers to everyone who believed we could do it

Agree with you Steve but you should have left out the " CIATE " out of DOLANS ASSO" CIATE" S

Mike Dolan - the Phil Spector of print management!

Timebomb mind your language, admin is good news as you guys now become creditors, has anyone made contact with the admistrators to discuss unpaid wages? Have Unite made contact with FOCs at other MPI sites, the bad press is likely to have damaged sales, which will put the group under pressure. Have heard bits on GB and Friary, which are not favourable and could mean the collapse of MPI. At least you are out of the way of Dolan and in the hands od Admin, they should be sympathetic to your cause, just make sure they know you exist. Dolan has been playing for time, you could be right he has been using casuals, can it be proved beyond doubt. If it can this needs to be pointed out to admin as well as it could lead to misappropriation of funds (shifting the book), maybe the tax man would also like a dig. It all depends how clever he has been.

I cannot belive that Dolan has been so clever that no-one can pin any wrong doing on him, wrong enough to see him in big trouble. he may think that he has mine swept his every step in his monumentous part in the falll of Butler and Tanner, but there is no such thing as the perfect crime. Dolan and MPI, I hope you rot in hell

fair shout john and i agree with you dolan rot in hell
