  "account": "Portmeirion Group PLC has announced its intention to rebrand as Spode Group PLC in November 2026, according to a press release. The shift in name is set to come into effect during the November of that year, with the ticker symbol transitioning to 'SPDE' on the London Stock Exchange. The ISIN (GB0006957293) and SEDOL (0695729) identifiers, however, will remain the same. Shareholders can keep their existing certificates; new ones issued post-rebranding will display 'Spode Group PLC'. The name change underscores the Spode brand's global presence and its deep-rooted heritage in markets. It also considers intellectual property factors and Spode's manufacturing focus, which has recently been brought back to Stoke-on-Trent, a city that the company has ties to for over 250 years. The name change is exclusively for the listed company itself; the brand portfolio, including Portmeirion, Royal Worcester, Pimpernel, Nambé, and Wax Lyrical, will stay the same. Customer-facing websites and transactional platforms will continue to operate as usual. Portmeirion Group, based in Stoke-on-Trent, England, serves markets worldwide, including the US, UK, and South Korea. Shore Capital is the company's advisor and broker.
