Historic British pottery business collapsed into liquidation in February, but has now received a rescue deal
Royal Stafford, a Stoke-on-Trent pottery business dating back to 1845, collapsed into liquidation in early February 2025, resulting in over 70 immediate job losses. The GMB Union cited spiralling energy costs and illegal imports as contributing factors to the closure of the historic British firm.
 
However, there is now a glimmer of hope for the region's pottery industry. TG Green & Co, the manufacturer of Cornishware, acquired Royal Stafford's assets in late March. This strategic acquisition has facilitated the re-employment of 17 former Royal Stafford staff members, including the designated production manager, and the recommencement of manufacturing activities at the Burslem facility.
 
TG Green's managing director expressed shock at Royal Stafford's demise, highlighting the importance of securing their supply chain. The new operation has already received its first significant order, offering a positive outlook for future growth and potential job creation.
