The owner of ceramics firm Wedgwood has revealed plans to halt production at its Staffordshire factory for up to 90 days from the end of the month in a move that will see 70 workers put on temporary leave.
Fiskars Group said the production pause at Wedgwood’s site in Barlaston would start on September 29 as a “short-term measure” in response to lower demand in some of its “key markets”.
