ABOUT US
Purveyors of the Finest Quality Produce
In 1938, Harry Workman founded Cotteswold Dairy Ltd when it was just a 30 gallon milk round. Harry grew the business by adhering to a strict policy of real service to the customer and top quality products.
Today, these values are still at the forefront of our business and it is because of this that we are thriving as an independent, 3rd generation family owned dairy in a very competitive market place.
Working with local farmers, within a 30 mile radius of the dairy, means that we are able to supply the highest quality milk and dairy produce direct to your door and to wholesalers and retailers across our vast distribution area.
If you're new to Cotteswold, we hope you enjoy looking at our website and look forward to welcoming you to our family of customers and if you are already a part of that family we would like to thank you for your valued custom.
