Introduction

West Country Milk works to supply local milk and other fresh products to a range of different industry sectors on a regional and national basis. These sectors include Hotels & Restaurants, Catering Contractors, Nursing/Care Homes, Convenience Stores, Schools and many other locations.

Based in Exeter, Devon, West Country Milk operates using Independent Supply Partners, typically dairies, to provide regular deliveries, typically on a daily basis.

Many of our customers have key requirements in common:

  • Require Daily Delivery on a Day One for Day Two basis
  • Have a need for delivery anywhere in the UK and Ireland
  • Look for consolidated pricing, orders, invoicing and Customer Service
  • Are driven by a desire to offer the freshest, local produce possible and thereby reducing food miles
  • A desire to Buy British and support British Farming whilst providing for a sustainable future.

“*Based on a 2015 analysis of approx. 30 Coffee Shops in the Manchester area.”

We seek to maintain these standards through our Core Values:

    Provide for a Sustainable Future

    Though West Country Milk rarely trades directly with the Farmer, we are determined to support a sustainable future for British Farmers and local dairy producers. By working with customers and suppliers who share these values we strive to avoid undue price pressures being placed on our farming communities. Our goal is to do all we can to prevent one of nature’s finest gifts being commoditised.

    Providing Day One for Day Two Delivery

    This enables provision of the freshest ingredients. It also supports minimal stock holding at the site resulting in improved efficiencies and reduced food waste.
