World-famous pottery firm hosts closing down sale with items from £2
The pottery brand is offering discounts of up to 60% as it winds down stores, with around 600 jobs set to go, officials said.
- On Sunday, August 30, Denby will close all UK stores, eliminating around 600 jobs after the 217-year-old Derbyshire-based pottery firm entered administration this year.
- Administrators were appointed after Denby struggled with rising energy and labour costs; a sale has been agreed, though the buyer remains unnamed and the brand will continue under new ownership.
- Customers can access closing-down sales at Denby Pottery Village and stores in Ashford and York with prices from £2, featuring discounts up to 60% and signs reading "everything must go."
- GMB union organiser Craig Thomson called the closure "a tragedy for Derbyshire," while former Denby workers expressed anger over a lack of transparency regarding the brand's new owners.
- International subsidiaries in Korea, the US, and China remain unaffected by administration and will continue operating as normal, ensuring the Denby brand survives beyond UK retail closures.
