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.
- Pottery brand 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 FRP Advisory to assume administrator duties earlier this year as the company sought an investment partner.
- The SaveDenby campaign mobilized extensive public support from across the UK and beyond, yet administrators ultimately failed to locate a buyer, forcing the closure.
- International subsidiaries in Korea and China remain outside administration and will continue normal operations, ensuring the brand maintains global customer access.
- Denby stated that "generations of dedicated, skilled people" sustained the brand through 217 years, adding that its pottery will endure in homes for years ahead.
