FORMER employees of a Hampshire printing company who have recently lost their jobs have suffered a devastating double blow after not receiving any redundancy money – just weeks before the Christmas holidays.

It has been revealed that DMA Print Limited, in Andover, a subsidiary of Thames Print Limited based on the East Portway Industrial Estate last week filed for administration with the loss of 53 jobs.

This follows the redundancy of around 20 employees at the end of July – with no prior notice – who are still awaiting their redundancy money after cheques received at the time bounced.
