Growth story based on paper
Article Abstract:
Wyndeham Press is a United Kingdom printing company which has been affected by a drop in favor in terms of investor sentiment toward the sector, though Wyndeham itself merits a better rating. The company has grown consistently since 1992 when a new chief executive, Bryan Benson, was reported. The company acquired Argent Colour and Aquaprint in 1997, and may carry out further acquisitions. There are benefits from cross-selling opportunities with these acquisitions.
