TMG confirmed last week that it had cancelled its contract with Wyndeham Pre-Press following a review at the back end of 2008.

Paul Brady, printing director at TMG, said: "Following a thorough and comprehensive review of all of our supplier arrangements at the end of 2008, the company decided to cancel its pre-press contract with Wyndeham Pre-Press.

"This action was taken in line with other similar decisions arrived at by the company to meet the ongoing business challenges currently being faced across the UK media sector."

Meanwhile, Fresh Media Group chief executive Simon Berg confirmed that his north London-based pre-media company had been awarded a contract by TMG.

Wyndeham Pre-Press declined to comment on the contract loss.

Wyndeham Press Group was acquired by Walstead Investments in December 2008. The company subsequently made 163 redundancies at its web offset division Wyndeham Heron.

In addition to the redundancies, staff voted in favour of changes to terms and conditions against union advice.
