Description

A printing company based in Norwich for almost 200 years is to close with the loss of 286 jobs. New Jarrold Printing went into administration in August after it had struggled financially since a management buy-in in 2004. Its largest customer, a publisher of colour magazines, has now cancelled contracts because of the uncertainty. Administrator Stephen Oldfield from Pricewaterhouse Coopers told staff on Monday night the company would close.
