When it comes to business, being family-run gives you a certain perspective. It means we don’t think in quarters or years – we think in generations.
That long-term approach has helped us to build Freshways from a local milk wholesaler into a national supplier of next-day dairy deliveries. As you can see from our timeline, we’ve grown from strength to strength while staying true to our original values.
Freshways is founded by the Hacking family as a milk wholesaler in Beckenham, South East London.
Freshways takes over the Dairy Crest depot, giving us a bigger presence in London and the South East.
Freshways continues to grow, acquiring more depots in the Midlands and the North.
The acquisition of Aintree Dairies supports our continued growth in the North of England.
Freshways opens a state-of-the-art distribution centre in Acton, West London, with easy access to the UK motorway network.
Freshways becomes the UK’s third-largest liquid dairy supplier, using the scale and strength of our nationwide distribution network.
Freshways launches a full range of dairy products including cheese, butter, yoghurts and desserts.
