Glasgow based, as far as I know they just have the Glasgow bottling plant. Code on the bottle will be GA 097
Buy in milk from First milk & Yew Tree. So to call it local for @Exfarmer in Suffolk seems a long shot

Not uncommon for the term local to be "abused" Noticed last week a filling station advertising a meal deal including "local" Roddas Milk. - Only 440 miles Newcastle - Cornwall .

McQueens built a national network of distribution depots with a focus on doorstep deliveries.

I've learnt that the first rule of owning any milk delivery business is to use lines like 'supporting local farmers' and 'delivering local milk'. Most customers just swallow it hook, line and sinker because they know no better. One local milkman was so intent on flooding Facebook with the local milk message I called him out on it. As expected they struggled to name a local farm, let alone the one their milk comes from.

Some are more pushy than double glassing salesmen , non farming friends tell us they say things like, don’t you want to help the farmer?

I guess this is a local person on a commission as it is on the local Facebook page
