Former Multiplex director Myles Bunyard has appeared as director at Capital Print and Display (CPD), the trading name of east London large-format printer Capital.
However, according to the Individual Insolvency Register, Bunyard is bankrupt and unable to hold a directorship at any company until 1 April 2009.
CPD said Bunyard was no longer at the firm and was only a consultant.
Rav Gill, general manager at Capital Print and Display, said: “In a couple of weeks time his name will be off their [Companies House] files. His name should not have been there in the first place.
“There is a lot of legal wrangling going on and I can’t say any more than that,” added Gill.
According to a Companies House report from 21 February 2008, Bunyard was appointed as director on 1 February 2008. A spokesman for credit-checking specialist ICSM said: “We have had numerous enquiries about this gentleman. His previous companies are a matter of public record and are well known to us.”
A statement from the insolvency register, made it clear that any undischarged bankrupt “acting as a company director, without the court’s permission, whether formally appointed as a director or not” has committed a criminal offence.

Packaging World and BPCouncil announce agreement
Packaging World, Summit Publishing Company’s packaging business magazine and the producer of the Brand-Protection Packaging Forum (April 8, 2008, Chicago, IL, USA), has partnered with the BPCouncil (www.bpcouncil.com), a virtual community dedicated to brand protection and intellectual property and addressing a wide spectrum of issues, such as technological advancements, legal developments, market leaders and more.
The agreement between the two companies offers additional exposure for both BPCouncil and the Brand-Protection Packaging Forum and adds a virtual dimension to this first time event. Conference attendees will learn about the latest packaging technologies being explored and implemented by big name brand owners to ward off counterfeiting, diversion, and grey-market distribution. This peer-to-peer information exchange will continue in the virtual world on the BPCouncil platform, a meeting place for Brand Protection professionals to share ideas.
With HP, J&J, and other companies
The brand owners and packaging professionals attending the Brand-Protection Packaging Forum can look forward to hearing from industry leaders including: Purdue Pharmaceuticals L.P., Liz Claiborne Cosmetics Inc., Intel Corporation, Hewlet-Packard Company, ghd Ltd., Lexmark International, Catalent Pharma Solutions and Johnson & Johnson. These innovators will be discussing how they implement the latest packaging technologies available for brand protection. Also on the program, a panel of lawyers will explore legal issues related to brand protection.
Joe Angel, VP/Publisher of Packaging World (www.packworld.com) says, “We believe the use of packaging technology as a means of protecting brands and consumers is an area that will see exceptional growth. We look forward to working with the BPCouncil in order to extend the reach of the forum and allow our participants further collaboration on new developments once the conference is over.”
Jodi Joseph, Director of the BPCouncil says, “We are excited to be partnering with Packaging World for the inaugural Brand-Protection Packaging Forum and inviting conference participants to join the BPCouncil. Packaging professionals are an important part of the BPCommunity and we are thrilled that Packaging World is fostering a discussion about packaging among brand owners. This forum is another step forward in the fight against counterfeit products.”

Trade show offers specialised food and eco packaging focus
Food and the environment will take particular prominence at this year's UK Processing Equipment & Packaging Machinery Association (PPMA) show to be held in the Birmingham from 30 September.
Two news areas aimed at these specific sectors will be open at the three day event, granting processors a more specific focus for their packaging needs, according to the PMMA.
Such a decision by the shows organisers reflects the growing need of processors within these areas, amidst changing consumer and regulatory demands.
Under the banner of EcoTec and FoodTec, the respective areas, which are to be situated opposite the show's existing machinery section, will be used to reflect key developments in food and green packaging, said the PPMA chief executive Chris Buxton.
EcoTec will represent companies that will aim to assist processors in meeting the various legislative and consumer requirements to ensure a more environmentally friendly production and output.
FoodTec, perhaps unsurprisingly, will display the latest developments both in terms of packaging equipment and materials for letting manufacturers meet the various safety, visual and
"The environment is a hugely influential factor today in all areas of processing and packaging while food is one of the largest and most buoyant sectors," Buxton stated. "The EcoTec and FoodTec features therefore ideally complement the main focus of the PPMA Show. In addition, the purchasing and specifying responsibilities of many of our visitors are continuing to widen and we need to reflect this."
Waste management and recycling have become increasingly important to food producers, both in the UK and Europe, in light of pressure from legislators and customers.
This includes the EU Landfill Directive, the UK government's commitment to reducing waste and emissions, and general consumer pressure for more environmentally friendly packaging and solutions.
About 200 exhibitors are already expected to attend the show, with more expected to sign up ahead of the vent, according to organisers.

Wrapper revamped for faster water packaging
Packaging firm Standard-Knapp claims that its integrated tray packing and shrink wrapping system for water bottles now operates at speeds of up to 70 trays per minute.
The Continuum system, likely to prove popular with manufacturers increasingly looking for more efficient packaging systems, was first created in 2006. The primary purpose of the technology is to pack products in trays then cover them in shrink-wrap plastic.
Standard-Knapp said that the new 296P Continuum was created specifically for manufacturers of bottled water who wanted faster packaging speeds.
Unlike the older 296l Continuum, the newer versions can also package unsupported multipacks with clear or printed film, often used for water bottles, the company claims.
However, Standard-Knapp also said that the new version of the Continuum can still process a variety of loose food and beverage containers, using a variety of materials. These include glass, metal, shrink bundles, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and high density polyethylene (HDPE).
Once shrink-wrapped, the manufacturer then has the option of packing the product into corrugated or chipboard trays, the company said.
And like the older Continuum, the new system is equipped with a touch screen control and Zero Gap, described by the company as "in-feed technology for balanced, jam-resistant packing lanes."
The US-based Standard-Knapp has created a number of new packaging solutions for the beverage industry in recent years, including the Positron machine, designed to pack carbonated, non-carbonated or hot drink-filled PET bottles in corrugated or iron trays.
Other Standard-Knapp inventions created to help bottled beverage manufacturers include a "beaded guide", which allows multiple items to run side-by-side without bottle necks, and so reduces both costs and damage to the product.
