Wilman and Beard owned the original artwork, licensing it to Coloroll for their designs. After a buy-out deal with the receivers fell through, Beard took the integrated home-furnishings concept to the London-based textile company Ashley Wilde. John Wilman agreed a deal whereby he bought the Coloroll brand. Later the brand was acquired by CWV Ltd, a company that develops and sells Coloroll wallcoverings in the UK and overseas. Some rights to the use of the brand for textiles have been licensed to Instore Plc.
Ashcroft, who had been appointed CBE in the 1990 News Years Honours list, resigned as Group chairman in March 1990. He moved from London to his Lake District farm, where he kept a pedigree flock of Charollais sheep. In 1991 he bought Cumbrian-based retailer of outdoor clothing Survival Aids, expanding it in 18 months from 3 to 14 shops. In 1993 it collapsed into administration with debts of £1.7 million.[1] He gained a Phd at Manchester Metropolitan University, and after a series of corporate positions, became a visiting lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan Business School.[2]
