Backing
British
Potteries
This is a wake up call.
The Potteries in Stoke-on-Trent are the historic home of the global Ceramics industry.
Illegal dumping and high energy costs are killing what is left of the UK’s world-leading industry.
The Campaign
1. The Potters’ Pledge
Pottery WORKERS
We are building the biggest worker-led campaign to save Britain’s Pottery Industry, to ensure Government and industry support and invest in our historic and world-leading industry.
Pottery and supply chain workers, add your name to our campaign to save the British Potteries.
2. The Potters’ Pledge
We expect Government, public sector and businesses who want to keep these fine manufacturing skills alive in the UK to procure their ceramics from these firms.
WHO TO BUY FROM
Selected because they manufacture in Britain, allow their workers to organise in trade unions and have good industrial relations with those workers.
Be confident that you are backing the British Potteries and their workers by purchasing from these suppliers:
