Perth-based design, printing and signage company Quick Colour Print (QCP) has gone into liquidation with an urgent creditors’ meeting called for tomorrow.
Six of the company’s eight WA franchise stores are reported to have already closed down, some of them shutting their doors last year. The troubled chain went into liquidation on March 16. Among the items on the agenda for tomorrow's meeting is the early destruction of books and records of the company as well as a motion to replace the liquidators with someone else.
Craig Freeman, manager of the Geraldton store, one of just two QCP stores that remain open for business, told Print21: “It’s not a real nice time and we’ll be pretty pissed off if they shut us down. It’s business as usual for now but we don’t have many answers about the future.”
Daniel Bredenkamp, executive director of the Perth Pitcher Partners, will convene the meeting. A spokesperson said the meeting would be focused on getting the business up and running as a going concern. There was no answer from the company's HQ yesterday with the phone ringing out.
Quick Colour Print was established 25 years ago.
The creditors’ meeting will take place at the offices of Pitcher Partners, Level 1, 914 Hay Street, Perth at 11am.
