Melbourne business STS Creative Printing has gone into liquidation, closing its doors on Friday after 37 years of operation. STS was owned by Darren Moss, the director, and Trevor Stanley.

The business made its nine staff redundant on the day, with employees venting that no prior notice was given of the company going broke or that their livelihoods were in danger.

The company only posted an online listing seeking a new estimator and customer service and project co-ordinator in March.
