How Recession Improved Paper and Print Businesses

From recent reports by Hermes, worst-hit areas are printing in Leeds, furniture, metal fabrication, timber and recruitment. Leeds, along with Sheffield, Bradford, and Wakefield were in the list of the top 10 places for business failure in North England.

Though the paper and print business sector is not that steady yet, it is doing better than the past couple of years.
