It was understood that the company, which filed a notice of intent to appoint an administrator last month had gone into administration with Zolfo Cooper.

However, at the time the administrator told PrintWeek it could not comment on the situation, nor confirm its appointment.

A notice to the London Gazette has now confirmed that insolvency practitioners KJ Coates and CP Holder were appointed from the firm on 22 February 2011.

The current situation at the company is unclear.

Flair Press (UK)'s partner company Alito Color Group went into administration with UHY Hacker Young. Its shareholder Terry Brady was initially understood to have bought Flair Press when it traded as Lexicon Press.

Both companies remain in administration, although PrintWeek understands buyers for both businesses are being sought.
