Portmeirion slams government in row over energy costs
The Sentinel
|October 02, 2025
It comes as sales and pre-tax losses rise
POTTERY giant Portmeirion has criticised the government over its lack of support for the beleaguered ceramics industry.
The Stoke firm is already being hit by soaring energy costs - as well as U.S. import tariffs.
It comes as Portmeirion has reported increased pretax losses from £2 million to £2.8 million in the first half of 2025 - but group sales have increased from £36.6 million to £37.1 million.
Portmeirion has already pledged to increase production at its Stoke plant.
