Denby to Stop Making Pottery

They are still talking to people who are interested in other parts of the business.

A union organizer said Denby is a famous British company that makes very good ceramics.

He said it's wrong that the administrators are taking away the company's most important part, its skilled workers.

The union will fight for the workers' rights.

The government should help, or the end of Denby will be their fault.
