Dairy Crest Group plc
 PROFILE
Dairy Crest Group makes the most of milk, from Frubes dairy snacks and FRijj flavored milk drinks to the plain stuff in a bottle. One of the biggest dairy firms in the UK, the group processes cheese, spreads, and milk and provides ingredients to food manufacturers. Its products are sold mostly to UK retailers under brands including Cathedral City (a leading UK cheddar), Clover, Davidstow, and Willow. Through a joint venture with Yoplait's French parent company SODIAAL, Dairy Crest sells yogurt and desserts. The company also offers home delivery. Once part of the now-demerged Milk Marketing Board, Dairy Crest is 45%-owned by a group of milk producers in England and Wales.
