Crafter’s Companion, the crafting business Sara Davies founded as a university student, has told customers it wants to see the brand “have a future” after the company that ran it entered liquidation with the loss of 58 jobs.
The update follows the disclosure last week that the Newton Aycliffe-based business would merge with Gemporia, its biggest customer.
As part of the rescue package, the trading arm of Crafter’s Companion was put into liquidation because it no longer needs trading operations of its own. Its store and head office closed with immediate effect, with 42 jobs lost at the Newton Aycliffe office and 16 in store.
