Production ends at Derbyshire's Denby Pottery after 217 years
Administrators said reduced demand and rising costs squeezed the business financially after a #SaveDenby campaign failed to find an investor.
- Denby ended production at its Derbyshire site after 217 years, with final pieces sent to the kiln on Thursday, June 4.
- Reduced demand and escalating employment costs squeezed the business financially, prompting the appointment of FRP Advisory as administrators earlier this year.
- The SaveDenby campaign mobilized extensive public support across the country, but the brand ultimately confirmed it remained unable to secure an investor.
- International subsidiaries in Korea and China are not in administration and will continue operating as normal for the brand's global customers.
- Generations of dedicated, skilled people allowed Denby to survive, the brand stated, noting its products will remain in homes for years to come.
