33 jobs saved after Derbyshire packaging firm acquired by Bradford business
A Bradford-based retail packing specialist has secured the future of a long-established Derbyshire retail display manufacturer which had fallen into administration, saving all 33 jobs at the firm.
Mailway Displays, part of the Mainway Packaging Group, has completed the purchase of Denby-based Derwent Displays, which will now continue trading under the Mailway Displays name from its existing manufacturing facility.
Ben Fallon and Louise Longley of BTG were appointed joint administrators of Derwent Packaging Limited, which trades as Derwent Displays, on 8 July 2026.
Mr Fallon said: “We are really pleased to have secured this sale, protecting the jobs of the entire team, delivering value for creditors, and enabling this long-established Derbyshire manufacturer to continue trading under new ownership.
“The business has developed an excellent reputation within the retail display and packaging sector over more than 30 years, ensuring the future of a highly skilled manufacturing operation and an important local employer.”
The company, which designs and manufactures point-of-sale displays, bespoke retail packaging and fulfilment solutions for companies across the UK, had experienced cash flow pressures. Prior to the administration, an accelerated sales process was launched to seek investment or a sale of the business.
Mailway Displays has said it will continue to fulfil customer orders from the Denby site.
