In this episode Wayne Robinson and Lindy Hughson discuss the collapse and future of Ovato, looking at why the company went into administration, what happens now, who the potential bidders are, and what it all means for the wider industry.

We then look at print businesses that have been rebranding and recalibrating this month, as they seek to leverage their skills into new areas, and highlight the importance of focused leadership.

Finally we mourn the loss of Peter Clarke, who made an immense contribution to the print industry over his 59 years in the industry.
