Müller sells its doorstep delivery business to Freshways in UK
Müller UK & Ireland has sold its doorstep delivery arm Milk & More, to dairy product supplier Freshways Group. Müller acquired Milk & More in 2016 when it invested in Dairy Crest’s wider liquid milk processing and distribution operation. Since this initial acquisition, Müller has broadened Milk & More’s product offering, including a range of sustainability-focused products, and deployed a large fleet of electric vehicles for delivery.
Müller’s sale of Milk & More comes after a strategic review of the business, with Müller continuing to operate as a B2B supplier of fresh milk, yogurt and other dairy products. The sale is expected to complete 1 January 2024.
Milk & More employs 1,100 people and was acquired by Muller as part of its acquisition of Dairy Crest’s wider liquid milk processing and distribution operation in 2016.
