    The Quarterly No. 124 News Vol 128 p1

    Portals has announced the imminent closure of its historic Overton Mill in Hampshire (which we visited during the 2015 Winchester conference) which produces banknote paper. The mill dates from 1922, so is closing during its centenary year. Sale of the mill machinery and equipment is being handled by BAPH member John Wilkie Paper Mill Services Ltd. Contrary to the position in Overton, the company remains upbeat about the prospects for their security paper business at Bathford, Somerset, and the security features business in Milan, Italy, who are not facing the same challenges.
