Historic British Pottery Brand Denby Closes All Remaining Stores for the Final Time
Administrators said a buyer has been found for the brand as public demand surged in the final weeks of trading.
- On Saturday, Denby closed all remaining stores after stock sold faster than expected during the final closing-down sale with prices from just £2.
- Founded 217 years ago, the ceramics company entered administration earlier this year following financial struggles caused by rising energy and labour costs.
- Around 600 jobs will be lost, though joint administrator Tony Wright confirmed the Denby brand "will continue under new ownership," ensuring its legacy lives on.
- Shoppers flocked to stores for the final sale, fulfilling Wright's request to give the Pottery Village "the send-off it deserves" over the bank holiday weekend.
- The GMB union called the Pottery Village closure "a tragedy for Derbyshire," questioning whether the brand retains its identity if production is no longer based in Britain.
