HERALD NEWSPAPERS PLC
Following the announcement that Trinity Mirror PLC is to close its Cardiff newspaper printing facility, Thomas Sinclair, Editor of the Pembrokeshire Herald said: “This is sad day for the newspaper industry Wales. Over the last few years we have developed a strong relationship with the staff at the Cardiff print centre and we feel for those members of staff who will lose their jobs so close to Christmas.”
Thomas Sinclair added: “It is now expected that most of the Welsh newspaper titles will be printed in either Birmingham or Watford. This means earlier deadlines, and less flexibility for the press in Wales. There will certainly be logistical challenges for us to produce newspapers so far away from west Wales and get them to the shops on time.
We are confident however, that despite these challenges we will still be able to deliver four strong titles every Friday”
