Denby Pottery Closes Doors After Centuries
9 Jun
Summary
- Denby Pottery, established in 1809, ceased production on March 31st.
- Rising energy and labour costs led to financial struggles for the firm.
- International Denby subsidiaries in US, China, and Korea will continue operating.
After centuries of operation, Denby Pottery, founded in 1809, has ceased production. The Derbyshire-based company appointed administrators on March 31st due to escalating employment costs and soaring energy prices, which significantly squeezed the business financially.
Despite a #SaveDenby campaign and a petition gaining over 105,000 signatures for parliamentary debate, a buyer could not be found. The company expressed gratitude for its dedicated workers and loyal customers, noting that the love and soul poured into each piece will endure.
International branches of Denby in Korea, the US, and China are unaffected by the administration and will continue their operations without interruption.
