UK – The Office of Fair Trading has reopened investigation looking at Robert Wiseman’s milk business in Scotland.

The investigation, which was first launched in June 2000, was wrapped up in October 2002, and concluded that Wiseman was not in breach of UK competition rules.

Commenting on the latest news, chairman Alan Wiseman said: “We are obviously surprised and disappointed that that the case has been reopened.” He added that, since 2000, the company has been subject to three separate investigations, none of which have taken any action against the company.

He concluded: “We will not allow this reopened investigation to distract us from running the business.”
