caption_attribution_description: English: Dairy Crest Chadwell Heath. Not exactly the picture that comes to mind when you say the word “dairy” but that is what this factory is, it produces “liquid milk products”.
context_page_description: Müller Milk & Ingredients, formerly Robert Wiseman Dairies and later Müller Wiseman Dairies, is the largest milk supplier and distributor in Great Britain. It is part of the Müller UK & Ireland Group, that is owned by the German Müller family.
  It has eleven major dairies. The company also produces Frijj milkshake, cream, and more recently, spreadable butter. The milk business of Dairy Crest was merged into the company in December 2015, following the purchase of the business by its parent.
  The company now delivers milk to around 715,000 households via their Milk & More doorstep delivery business. Following completion of the sale, the company was renamed. It supplies around 30% of Britain's fresh milk, and has Britain's biggest fresh milk distribution network. Müller Milk & Ingredients also supply several large grocery retailers.
context_section_description: In July 2013, the company announced the closure of its depots in Keith and Whitburn, because of a significant reduction in the number of delivery runs from each site. In October 2013, Müller Dairies’ Droitwich dairy, one of the biggest in their portfolio, was damaged by a fire. 
  Despite immediate shut down of operations at the business’ largest fresh milk dairy, the company maintained supplies of fresh milk to its customers by increasing production at other sites and the co-operation with other dairy suppliers. In December 2015, the company took on the online ordering service for its doorstep customers known as Milk & More, formerly operated by Dairy Crest.
