Company HistoryA family owned company formed in 1972, by Brenda and Audrey Banks. Based in Railway Arches at Catcliffe, between Rotherham and Sheffield (To see map S60 5SR).Banks Pottery has gained a valuable reputation within South Yorkshire and its surrounding areas as purveyors of great value high quality catering grade crockery and pottery. In 2002 Nick Banks, and faithful hound Malcolm, began to take over the day to day operations of Banks Pottery as Audrey and Brenda took a more relaxed role as semi retired. Audrey retired fully in 2005 and Brenda followed suit in 2007. Louise Rollinson joined the team in 2007, just in time for the worst flooding in living memory to hit South Yorkshire. Banks Pottery is approx 20 metres from the River Rother which breached its banks on the 25th June 2007. We returned to the premises two days later after the flood waters receeded. The floodwaters reached almost 6ft in depth. Banks Pottery was out of action for 2 months. A great effort by many heroic helpers including complete strangers, friends, family and even a troop of boy scouts got us back on our feet. We will always be very grateful to all that helped. In 2008 Banks Pottery was going from strength to strength especially via the web based business. Banks Pottery began exporting to Spain, Ireland, France and Germany. Sadly, 2009 brought darker news: Founder Audrey Banks passed away in the spring. Malcolm, the pottery dog, died in late summer. Young Geoff the canine trainee joined Banks Pottery in the autumn and is currently undergoing careful training. We hope he will begin taking phone calls any day soon. Banks Pottery is a member of The Federation of Small Businesses  |
