The Scotland-based dairy company, which procures, processes and delivers liquid milk to customers across the UK, said sales volumes in the first three months of the new financial year were 8.5% ahead of the same period last year. The company also said that volumes processed at its new Bridgwater facility were growing in line with its expectations.
In a statement, chief executive Robert Wiseman said: “Given the new contract wins, we’re pushing ahead with the planned increase in capacity to 375 million litres per annum at this site, at a cost of £7.5m, and are hopeful that this extra capacity will be on-stream in early 2010.”
Robert Wiseman Dairies was also recognised for its proactive approach to sustainability at an awards ceremony recently. The company won a ‘Major Commendation’ at the Business Commitment to the Environment (BCE) Environmental Leadership Awards. The award recognises the significant progress the company has made towards sending zero waste to landfill.
David Douglas, group environmental manager, said: “We take our responsibility to minimising our environmental impact very seriously, and have invested heavily in building the most efficient fresh milk supply chain in the country. Receiving this Major Commendation at the BCE Awards is recognition for the hard work and dedication by the entire Wiseman team.”
