Or sell the brand and just retireLooks a fantastic site to sell for houses to fund a new state of the art factory elsewhere to me!

It’s also producing a long life product which makes it easier to be a price setter rather than a price setterWhen you are tight on space you can't carry any passengers.
Does make you focus on making every square inch count.
They keep no product on site.
Its all shipped to warehouse as soon as off the line.
It is a very efficient business which is why Arla didn't want to sell it.
Their flavoured milks and iced coffees are really good.It’s also producing a long life product which makes it easier to be a price setter rather than a price setter
Hi peak?why? Cake lorry arrived today from Peak District said roads busy as ever
Probably ours came today.Hi peak?
Pretty sure they don't own the site or the warehouse site where the product goesLooks a fantastic site to sell for houses to fund a new state of the art factory elsewhere to me!
As a non arla producer that is a very difficult question to answer.@lazy farmer . Would you rather see Danish butter sold in the UK with profits returned to UK dairy farmers or Muller making more butter in the UK but returning the profits to Germany?
Yes high peaksHi peak?

More products made in the UK will push up farm gate prices
Yet they don't restrict the latter.Most of Arla’s profit comes from branding not volume
If more products are made here the only way it will push up farm gate price is if the supply isn’t here and then you also need the demand for the product, if the demand for the increased supply is as a commodity product to place on the world market I’m not so sure it would increase farm gate unless the world supply of the product is lower!

I believe they have not long bought the leasehold, as Sid said it's a very efficient factory, they have been Continually investing in the production facilities and exploit every square metre of the small site. I think they would be staying put for the foreseeable.Looks a fantastic site to sell for houses to fund a new state of the art factory elsewhere to me!
I see frontera are selling all their China farms and joint venture units, surely that was a mad business model to start with?
I agree it’s a long road to produce a product that adds value when selling in a export market. It’s hard/costly to establish a brand but if you don’t develop/buy anything you won’t get anywhere.
That’s the biggest issue with seasonal production the factories can’t be run very efficiently which will result in a lower price to the farmer.
It is not a big enough site. Milklink looked at rebuilding the factory at Taw Valley where there is available land but we were told it was cheaper to carry on and invest on the Crediton site.Looks a fantastic site to sell for houses to fund a new state of the art factory elsewhere to me!
But is crediton a long term business unless they invest in the factory, with the site being in a difficult position it does make that difficult. If you stand still surely you will go backwards. Nothing against crediton at all.View attachment 935202
But still leasehold ?I believe they have not long bought the leasehold, as Sid said it's a very efficient factory, they have been Continually investing in the production facilities and exploit every square metre of the small site. I think they would be staying put for the foreseeable.
It always was leasehold, they might have taken the opportunity to buy the freehold.But still leasehold ?
I winter hoggs on a dairy farm in Shropshire they get 30p with arla mind you they need it I'd say its a father and son team with a workman 4 days a week he reckons 150 cows is a full time job for 2 without the tractor work and everything else they start half 5 in the morning and finish half 6 at night but always seems quite there during the dayWhy no milk price tracker thread?
We have them for;
Beef
Lamb
Feed
Fert
Combinables
Sprays
Fuel

Its always surprising to see the factory right in the middle of Crediton, access doesn't look to good.
