Litho Supplies shows interest in JC's assets

Litho Supplies is interested in buying the assets of JC Graphic Supplies out of administrative receivership, after the firm was hit by an alleged Nigerian fraud operation.

It is believed that the firm supplied consumables to Nigeria via a London-based front company.

Agfa UK graphic systems director Laurence Roberts said Agfa was among a number of creditors. "As far as we know the stuff has gone. It's probably been used in Lagos already," said Roberts.

Litho Supplies joint managing director Gerry Mulvaney said: "A number of companies are looking at the business and you could put us on that list."
