A spokesman said the acquisitions would be just the first of several. The company would become a major print group in the UK, with a turnover of 40m in the next year, he added.

Newey Print, a specialist packaging firm in Birmingham, was sourced by Richmond Capital Partners, which has been appointed by Midlands to research further acquisitions.
