Caverswall China has moved a printing department to a three-day week, following a seasonal dip in business, a statement said

A pottery firm in Stoke-on-Trent says it has temporarily moved to a three-day working week in one of its departments.

The Caverswall English China Company said the reduction in hours in its lithographing operation reflected a seasonal dip in business.

It follows news that the Royal Stafford pottery firm entered administration earlier this month and Portmeirion announced redundancies.

Caverswall expects a normal working week to resume by the end of February, a spokesperson says, confirming no other statement would be released on the issue.
