The chairman of Denby Pottery encouraged workers ahead of its 200th anniversary celebrations by saying he hopes it is around for another century. At the end of June, the firm's visitor centre will hold a weekend-long bicentenary party. Only recently, its future looked uncertain after the firm went into administration. It was resurrected by senior management, who formed a new company called Denby Potteries Ltd. The business shed 46 of 450 jobs.. Now, it is moving forward & chairman Paul McGowan says he expects Denby will be around for decades to come. He said: "Times have changed & tastes have moved on but the team at Denby Pottery continues to produce a high quality, contemporary product that is rightly regarded as one of the gems of British manufacturing, upholding the traditions of a still proud company."
