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.
- After 217 years, Denby ended production at its Derbyshire site on Thursday, as the pottery brand officially stopped firing its final pieces.
- Reduced demand and escalating employment costs squeezed the business financially, prompting the appointment of FRP Advisory as administrators in March.
- The SaveDenby campaign mobilized support from across the country, yet the brand ultimately confirmed it had been unable to secure an investor to continue operations.
- International subsidiaries in Korea and China are not in administration and will continue operating as normal, preserving global customer access to Denby products.
- Generations of dedicated, skilled people enabled Denby's longevity, and the brand noted its products will remain in homes for years, as they were always made to last.
