Müller targets enhanced industry collaboration with Dairy UK membership
Müller UK & Ireland has joined the processor-led organisation Dairy UK as it targets further industry collaboration.
Dairy UK represents farmer-owned co-operatives and private dairy companies and aims to promote the consumption of British dairy products at home and on the international market.
With the addition of Müller UK & Ireland, the two organisations hope to foster greater collaboration and leadership across the British dairy sector.
As the UK dairy industry faces into a wide range of challenges and opportunities, cross-industry collaboration and collective action will be key to promoting and protecting the consumption of UK dairy products, benefitting the entire supply chain.
Commenting on Müller’s membership, Dr Judith Bryans Chief Executive of Dairy UK said “We’re delighted to confirm Müller to our membership, marking a significant step forward for industry collaboration. This reflects the value of collective action in addressing the pressing challenges and opportunities facing the UK dairy sector today.”
Rob Hutchison, CEO of Müller Milk & Ingredients said:
“Our purpose is to deliver a better future for the British dairy industry and where possible, we want to come together as an industry to build a more resilient and sustainable future.
“So, whether that’s through first-class service levels for our retail partners, great tasting products for shoppers or genuine partnerships with our supplying farmers, we are taking steps that we think can benefit everyone.
“The whole supply chain benefits if we can promote British dairy products both at home, and on the international stage, while ensuring sustainability is at the heart of the sector. So, for that reason, it makes perfect sense to join Dairy UK and we’re excited to get started.”
