Rowe the Printers closes with '50 job losses'

Almost 50 staff are believed to have lost their jobs following the closure of a Cornwall print company.

Hayle-based Rowe the Printers closed its doors on 12 September, leaving a message on the gates to the site announcing the closure.

Local newspaper The Cornishman said the company employed around 50 staff at the time of its closure.

Jim Wright of the Hayle Chamber of Commerce said that the company was a "good reputable local business" which he had dealt with for many years and that the closure had come as a shock to the town.

The company's phone line has been disconnected and its website is no longer in operation. However, it is thought that an administrator has not yet been appointed.

No directors of the company could be reached for comment.
