In 1809, local entrepreneur William Bourne discovered the strength and quality of Denby's local Derbyshire clay. He set up a factory employing local craftsmen and kicked off the tradition of jollying, fettling and handcrafting. And so began the story of Denby.

Today, after 200 years of experience, Denby continue to go from strength to strength, crafting timeless collections that exude English heritage and seeking out new trends to create modern ones. Denby has a team of super-talented and passionate designers and craftspeople creating the magic that happens in the kilns each day.

Caring for the environment and the planet that we live on is very important to Denby. They are continually working towards living and working more sustainably by making positive changes to lessen their impact.

Denby are proudly the first UK tableware manufacturer to be able to claim ‘zero to landfill’ for all their process waste. In addition, they employ an Environmental Officer to ensure that Denby is constantly looking at ways to improve their sustainable approach.
