TCH outsources printing

IRISH Examiner owners Thomas Crosbie Holdings Limited (TCH) has signed contracts to outsource its printing functions to Webprint Concepts Ltd.

Under the deal, all of TCH’s 14 titles, with the exception of The Irish Post, the group’s British title, will be printed in Mahon Point.

TCH has acquired a site in Mahon on which it is currently constructing a specialised building which will be leased to Webprint, on a long term basis. Webprint, established by Donagh O’Doherty, shall purchase the printing press and ancillary equipment. Printing at the new state of the art facility will commence in early 2006 with TCH as anchor client. It is anticipated that the new company will employ over 40 staff at start-up.
