About Us

About the Company About Cotteswold Dairy
Since 1938, Cotteswold Dairy has flourished from a modest milk round--delivering just 30 gallons a day using a bucket and ladle--into one of the UK's most respected independent, family-run dairies, rooted in Tewkesbury. Built on the founding values of quality, service, and cleanliness, the business has remained committed to those principles spanning three generations, now under the leadership of Managing Director George Workman.


Today, we process, pack, and deliver over 100 million litres of milk and dairy products each year to doorstep customers and businesses across England and Wales, operating from multiple depots and a modern production site in Tewkesbury.


At our heart lies a strong ethical and environmental commitment. We partner with local farms within a 60-mile radius--many Red Tractor-certified--promoting sustainable farming practices, animal welfare, and minimal environmental impact. We've championed eco-friendly initiatives for decades, including returnable glass bottles, electric milk floats, telematics for efficient logistics, and zero waste-to-landfill operations.


More than a business, Cotteswold Dairy is a values-driven community dedicated to delivering wholesome, high-quality dairy products while nurturing people, our communities, and our planet--making us a compelling and meaningful place to build your career.
