First Milk is a British dairy co-operative owned by 700 farming families and a certified B Corporation. A business-to-business company, it handles circa one billion litres of British Milk per annum and employs over 480 colleagues, with the majority based at its creameries in the Lake District and Pembrokeshire and its specialist chilled dairy site in Dorset. It produces a range of hard and soft British cheeses, bulk cream and whey proteins, fresh milk, culture creams, yoghurt, clotted cream and kefir for food manufacturers and the food service sector, as well as providing manufacturing solutions.
First Milk members are committed to high standards of animal welfare and to implementing Regenerative Farm Plans focused on improving soil health, enhancing biodiversity, protecting water and carbon removals by taking CO2e out of the atmosphere and locking it underground. You can read about the co-operative’s regenerative farming plans and broader sustainability programmes in its annual Impact Report, which is published on its website.
Financially, First Milk continues to perform strongly, with consistent year-on-year growth and reinvestment in its operations. The company regularly invests in infrastructure and efficiency improvements across its sites, ensuring long-term competitiveness.
