ABOUT MEADOW

The Meadow journey has taken us all the way from a milk trading company to the leading dairy, confectionery, and plant-based ingredient business we are today. And what a great business we are.
We are now a £550 million turnover, value added ingredients business. We employ over 520 colleagues who have a reputation for being experts in the dairy, confectionery, and plant-based ingredient business, and in terms of products, we are the essential ingredient in many of the UK’s favourite food brands, supplying the milk in Dairy Milk, the cream in Ben & Jerry’s, and the ingredients for everything from a Marks & Spencer Chicken Tikka Masala to a Tunnocks Tea Cake!
We can only do this thanks to our hardworking, dedicated, expert colleagues. They are the essential ingredient in the Meadow business, and what makes us different is the MEADOW WAY. At the heart of everything we do lies our company core values. Here at Meadow, these values drive everything we do as a business: We get it done. We support each other. We do the right thing. We think big!
