Administrators are seeking buyers for the real estate and assets of a Yorkshire-based printing, design and multimedia company following its collapse earlier this month.
Wakefield-based UYR Limited fell into administration on April 20 2026 after attempts to sell the business proved unsuccessful. Despite being marketed for sale, no agreement could be reached on a deal and the business ceased trading upon the appointment of administrators.
The joint administrators are now managing a controlled wind down and closure of the company while working with asset sales and auctions teams to realise the value of its real estate and assets.
In accounts for the year to March 31 2025, UYR Limited’s fixed assets were valued at £5.3 million and current assets at £5.8 million, with net assets totalling £2.4 million.
According to one of the joint administrators, the company had experienced difficulties in maintaining cashflow and generating sufficient revenue after investing in expansion, leading its director to seek professional advice.
The joint administrator continued: “Unfortunately, having been unable to complete a sale of the business, the director made the difficult decision to enter administration and appoint us as joint administrators to manage the controlled wind down of the company. Trading ceased upon our appointment and sadly this has meant all of the employees have been made redundant."
Based at a full-service production facility at its purpose-built site in Wakefield, URY was among the UK’s leading independent suppliers of print and design services. The company also offered warehousing and distribution services for its clients.
One of the firm’s key offerings was UYR.ONE, its online platform for multi-project businesses. Built by the company’s in-house development team, the platform enabled managers to work with the firm on projects in real-time, including briefing projects, communicating with the design team, requesting quotes and collaborating on artwork approvals.
A rare opportunity presents itself with the sale of an established independent publisher specialising in four key trade magazine publications.
