Melbourne-based Direct Digital Group (DDG), a digital print pioneer and communications agency, has gone into voluntary liquidation.
A general meeting of members of the company late last week decided to wind up the company and appoint Andrew Reginald Yeo and Gess Michael Rambaldi of Pitcher Partners as joint liquidators.
A Meeting of Creditors will take place at the offices of Pitcher Partners in William Street, Melbourne, next Monday, 20 April, at 3pm. Items on the agenda may include a resolution to appoint a committee of inspection and a resolution to remove the liquidators from office and appoint someone else as liquidator.
Other agenda items are: to receive a report as to affairs; to fix or determine the remuneration of the liquidator(s); to consider the early destruction of books and records; and any other business.
On its website, DDG describes itself as an Australian print pioneer with over 20 years experience across all industry sectors.
