Pottery firm Portmeirion, based in Stoke, is demanding more support from the government. The company announced an increase in revenue but have also seen some losses because of trade tariffs imposed by the USA and a lack of support from the government to cut soaring energy prices. CEO Mike Raybould says they are all fighting incredibly hard. The Government says it recognises the challenges faced by the ceramics industry - which is why the Industrial Strategy included measures to support the sector - like a scheme to reduce electricity bills by up to 25%.
