Administrators from HKM had not returned PrintWeeks calls before it went to press.
The Official Receivers Birmingham office planned to interview Humes this week about the winding-up of Newey Print (PrintWeek, 17 July), the Tipton packaging printer bought last year by his acquisition vehicle Midlands Publishing Holdings, which is also being wound up.
Midland Printers Supplies in Wolverhampton would like to make it clear that it is in no way connected with Midlands Print.
