Carlton Barclay poised for sale

Kroll Buchler Phillips has had an undisclosed number of offers for Basildon-based Carlton Barclay and Litho-Tech Colour Printers.

Administrative receiver Lee Manning said he was "cautiously optimistic" of selling the business as a going concern. One of the interested parties is believed to be Carlton Barclays current management.

Last week there were 166 redundancies.
