Pioneering Sustainability
A Commitment Beyond Excellence Direct Milk is at the forefront of sustainable practices. We produce over half of our annual electricity through our solar panels and employ low emission vehicles, including hybrid vehicles with solar-powered fridges. As proud members of the Sustainable Restaurant Association, we're dedicated to making a positive impact on the environment. In 2020/21, we embarked on an exciting project. Our carbon footprint will be offset through our own native tree planting, and any remaining carbon footprint will be balanced to make us fully carbon neutral.
A Heritage of Local Sourcing and Family Values
We take pride in our commitment to sourcing British and local produce whenever possible. Over 80% of our products are British, and many of our suppliers are cherished local, family-run businesses. Our main yoghurt supplier for the last 20 years, Tims Dairy, is a family-run business based only 15 miles from our depot. All our free-range milk comes from the family-run Cotteswold Dairy.

Our History
A Legacy of Quality: Crafting Excellence Since 1966 In the heart of London, Ernie & Jean Jenkins laid the foundation in 1966 for what would become a pioneering dairy and morning goods supplier. Their initial focus was on delivering fresh milk to esteemed hotels and restaurants across the city. As time marched forward, so did Direct Milk, expanding not only its roster of esteemed clientele but also its diverse array of products. From those early days, the offerings evolved into a comprehensive selection of dairy essentials and morning delights, tailored to meet the exacting demands of our cherished customers. Today, our inventory boasts an extensive range encompassing creams, yoghurts, butters, cheeses, eggs, juices, purees, antipasti, bread, and an ever-expanding assortment of vegetarian, vegan, and lactose-free options.
