Welcome to Milk Link- the UK’s most progressive integrated dairy business. We are entirely owned by British dairy farmers whose farm assured milk we process into a comprehensive range of superb tasting, high quality and innovative dairy products.
We are the UK’s largest producer of cheese, supplying all major food retailers, food processors and food service organisations. We also manufacture a wide range of dairy products including long life milk and creams, extended shelf life products, flavoured milks, custards, milk powders, soft cheeses and cultured ingredients.
The profits generated by the business are returned to our farmer Members to help provide a sustainable future for their dairy enterprises. In doing so, at a wider level, we also support the economic, social and environmental well-being of many hundreds of rural communities across the UK.
Formed in the year 2000, we employ around 1,600 people at nine processing facilities and in 2006/07 generated a turnover of over £500m.
