We are delighted to announce that Valentine Clays has been named a finalist in the Innovation, Science & Technology Award category at the 2026 Staffordshire Chambers Business Awards.

This recognition is a proud moment for our team and reflects our continued commitment to innovation, sustainability and supporting the future of the ceramics industry.

As one of the UK’s leading clay manufacturers and suppliers, innovation has always been at the heart of what we do from developing high-quality clay bodies and casting slips to investing in new technologies, sustainable practices and industry collaboration.

Being shortlisted for this award celebrates the hard work, creativity and dedication of the entire Valentine Clays team, whose passion for ceramics continues to drive the business forward.

Our CEO Hannah Ault said:

“We are incredibly proud to be named finalists for the Innovation, Science & Technology Award. Innovation plays a huge role in our business and in the wider ceramics industry, so it’s fantastic to see the work of our team recognised in this way.

“We are constantly looking at ways to improve, evolve and support our customers, while also championing sustainability and the future of British ceramics.”

The Staffordshire Chambers Business Awards celebrate businesses and organisations across the region that are making an outstanding contribution through growth, innovation and leadership.

We would like to thank Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce for recognising Valentine Clays alongside so many inspiring businesses from across the county.

Congratulations to all the finalists and we look forward to celebrating at the awards ceremony later this year.
