The council aims to discuss the closure of Royal Stafford’s Burslem factory and support affected workers amid rising costs and falling orders.
Burslem: The council leader wants to meet with Royal Stafford’s directors. The pottery firm has closed its factory and is being liquidated.
This closure comes after falling orders and rising energy costs. It’s another setback for Burslem.
A council spokesman said Jane Ashworth is reaching out to the owners. They want to discuss the situation and support the local economy.
The council has plans to regenerate Burslem. This includes improvements to attract more visitors and boost local businesses.
They are also helping the 83 workers who lost their jobs. The council recognizes Royal Stafford’s long history in the pottery industry.
They aim to assist affected employees through Jobcentre Plus and the JET service. This includes job search help, CV writing, and interview techniques.
