Talk to the team: 01244 680071 Farmer Portal Our History & Growth We originated as a small dairy trading firm. Through organic growth and strategic acquisitions, we are now a major dairy ingredients manufacturer. We handle over 650 million litres of milk and supply well over 100,000 tonnes of dairy ingredients a year. We started life in 1992 as a farmer-backed dairy trading business. Three years later, we merged with Bodfari, which saw us obtain a large dairy processing facility and our own dedicated farmer supply. Since then, we’ve acquired two more processing facilities, in Yorkshire and Peterborough, helping us to achieve 8% compounded annual growth to become the largest independent dairy in the UK. Now, we have a clear strategy to continue long-term sustainable growth.
