In September 2009, The Grocer, a magazine which focuses on providing the latest news and issues facing the UK grocery market, published their Fast 50 list, which is a compilation of the fastest growing grocery suppliers in the UK. The figures showed that the list was dominated by fresh produce suppliers and 5 dairies were listed, which is a fantastic nod to the dairy industry as a whole. The figures are based on compound annual sales growth over a three-year period and we at Cotteswold Dairy Ltd are very proud to be recognised in this way.
