A POPULAR print shop in Ellesmere has announced via social media that it has closed down with immediate effect, in what has been called a ‘huge blow to the town’.
Maxwell’s Printing and Photocopying Service, in Market Street, will no longer trade according to a post made by former mayor and current councillor Paul Goulbourne on Saturday.
He said that he was passing on a request from owner Maxwell Bussy who said that costs of running the business have become too high and he did not want to burden his customers with them.
