Family-Owned Dairy Company targets 40m turnover in 2020

Posted by on 7 Jan 2020

Family-owned dairy company, Lancashire Farm Dairies finished 2019 on a high after seeing growth in sales of 37.9m, leaving them on target to surpass this year’s projected growth of 40m.

The Rochdale-based company’s substantial investment of more than 3.5m in a new plant following increased product demand has been instrumental in driving growth. The plant increased capacity and capability in terms of milk intake, processing, filling and storage, increasing the amount of milk Lancashire Farm Dairies processes by 100%.

The brand has a continuous investment program to invest and upgrade the site, ultimately to drive greater capacity and efficiency. In addition to this investment, Lancashire Farm also attributes its rapid growth this year to several key hires across the business. Their energy and drive have helped the sales of the innovative and fast-paced yogurt brand.

Jack Morrison, brand manager at Lancashire Farm Dairies, said “As a brand we’re always looking to evolve. The business has grown ten-fold over the past decade, and during a time of growth which has seen the company boost in sales, our investments are proof that Lancashire Farm Dairies is going from strength-to-strength and is continuing to move forward as a key market player.”

Lancashire Farm Dairies has been producing high quality, natural yogurt with locally sourced milk for 35 years. The yogurts are made with free-range milk, with guarantees the cows used are grazing for a minimum of 150 days a year.

Lancashire Farm Dairies has had strong success within the retail market, with products stocked at all the major supermarkets including Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Iceland, Co-op, Aldi and Lidl. Most recently, their products have been stocked in Booths.

Morrison continued: “The brand has enjoyed fantastic growth over recent years driven by strong success within the retail market. This a testament to the work we’ve been doing with the brand and business.

As well as their own products the brand also produce own-label yogurts for a number of retailers and operate in key markets such as wholesale and key ingredient, all of which have seen positive growth this year.
