Norfolk-based luxury clothing label Troy London, founded in 2013 by sisters Rosie van Cutsem and Lucia Ruck Keene, is closing after roughly a decade in business. The countryside-inspired brand, based at Hilborough House near Swaffham, attracted prominent customers including Catherine, Princess of Wales, as well as Poppy Delevingne, Rita Ora, Pamela Anderson and Miranda Hart. The founders said they were proud of the small collections created with British artisans and thanked customers for their support. Troy London Merchandise Ltd is expected to appoint liquidators, with a creditors' meeting scheduled.

Cranswick reported a 5.5% rise in revenue and an 8.2% increase in product volumes for the 13 weeks to June 27, driven by demand for protein-rich pork and chicken products. Fresh poultry sales benefited from a 25% capacity expansion at the Eye facility and new premium retail customers, while domestic pork sales grew despite weaker exports to China and other global markets. The company also expanded its convenience, gourmet, houmous, dips and pet-food businesses, entered a joint venture with The Jolly Hog, and strengthened its relationship with Pets at Home.
