This just showed up in my Facebook feed:

Press release – 31st October 2022 
The Phoenix Barrel Company Ltd
We are pleased to announce the formation of a new UK rifle barrel manufacturing company by a group of international target rifle shooters and experienced barrel makers.  With over 150 years of target shooting experience amongst the shareholders and the expertise of highly regarded barrel makers, it is our strong desire to quickly become the leading rifle barrel manufacturer in the UK marketplace.  The company has purchased the machinery and equipment and other assets of the barrel making division of Sassen Engineering Ltd in Birmingham (in liquidation), and is preparing to commence production in early November 2022 to satisfy a healthy and growing order book.  For more information, please contact us on info@phoenixbarrels.com

Im sure theyll be at least as good as Sassen barrels, we just need to support them instead of the US manufacturers

They basically are Sassen/border barrels. They just have new owners and a new name 👍🏻. It’s good to see they will continue and i’m sure they will be better than before.
