Millbrook Dairy, a rapidly expanding West Country cheese and butter producer, has been honored with the prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade for 2024. Co-founded in 2019 by David Evans and Kevin Beer, this Devon-based company has demonstrated remarkable growth in international markets, achieving a 109% increase in overseas sales over the past three years.
The King’s Award for Enterprise acknowledges Millbrook Dairy's successful international collaborations and its proficiency in the procurement and distribution of bulk and packaged dairy products. The company's significant growth trajectory includes expanding its market presence across Europe, the Middle East, North America, and Asia-Pacific, making it the UK’s fastest-growing dairy trader and exporter.
In addition to its bulk products, Millbrook Dairy has also launched its own premium brand, the 1057 Extra Mature Scottish Cheddar, now available in the USA, Canada, and Australia. The award reflects the company's strong team dynamics, deep-rooted industry relationships, and a shared commitment to excellence, highlighted by co-founders Beer and Evans as central to their success.
The recognition comes as part of the King’s Awards for Enterprise, an evolution of the former Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, which aims to continue the legacy of celebrating outstanding British businesses. Now in its 58th year, the awards are considered the most prestigious acknowledgment in the UK business community, with recipients entitled to display the King’s Awards Emblem for five years.
