A UK printing company has gone into administration after a notice was issued. The announcement, posted on The Gazette, shows that Robert Ferne, Jacob Beake and Ben Fallon, all of BTG Begbies Traynor (Central) LLP, have been appointed as its administrators.

The printing business says it is "one of the UK's leading independent suppliers of design and print solutions." The business is housed in a full-service production facility at its purpose-built site in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. On its website, it says: "For over 20 years we have been delivering the highest quality design and print services to a long list of happy clients."

According to Printweek, UYR operates from a purpose-built site. It adds that the business runs four HP Indigo digital presses, including two B2 models, a raft of wide-format equipment, including Agfa, SwissQprint, HP and Mimaki devices, two B1 litho presses, and a raft of associated post-press equipment.

The firm was founded in 1998 and earlier this year announced it was expanding into an additional 1,394sqm unit, giving the business a total space of 4,830sqm.

Printweek reports that UYR employed 85 according to its most recent accounts, to March 31 2025, when it had net assets of just over £2.4million.

At UYR, goods are stored on-site and available for pick, pack and dispatch to client locations nationwide, with direct mail fulfilment available on request.

The business operates sustainably, with details online about its commitment to eco-conscious practices.

It says the materials used in its print production come from responsibly managed forests and are 100% recyclable.

The business ensures its print production waste is safely disposed of or recycled, including aluminium plates and paper waste.

At the time of writing, there is currently no announcement on the website addressing the administration.

It comes at a time when UK businesses are increasingly struggling to survive amid the cost-of-living crisis.

Along UK high streets, empty units are not an uncommon sight with even online retailers battling rising costs.
