What our people say:
“I joined Lakeland Dairies in 1986 and since then I have seen tremendous growth and development across the business. However, despite that growth the company has continued to remain a very personable organisation where everyone from the CEO down knows everyone else on a first name basis.
Lakeland Dairies is a co-operative business owned by farmers. It has a strong connection to the community and is definitely an organisation where ambition is met by opportunity.”
