Our Story

Your Trusted Milk Delivery Service Since 1976

For almost five decades, Hanover Dairies has been proudly delivering fresh milk across the North East, North West and South of England. From family homes and local shops to schools and businesses, we provide reliable doorstep milk delivery with a personal touch.

Where we

began…

Hanover Dairies began on a cold, damp morning in 1976 when founder Trevor Hanover spotted an opportunity and purchased his first milk round for £5,000.

From that single route, the business has grown into one of the UK’s most trusted milk delivery networks – built on Trevor’s honest, open approach and unwavering commitment to both customers and employees.

This “can‑do” spirit runs through every member of the Hanover Dairies team and has supported us through harsh winters, supermarket price wars, economic downturns and even a global pandemic.

No matter what challenges we’ve faced, one thing has never changed: we deliver fresh milk to our customers’ doorsteps and with your support, we always will.

Where does our

milk come from?

Our milk begins its journey in the lush green pastures of the British Isles. Here, dairy cows graze freely on grass for most of the year, switching to high‑quality hay during the winter months.

Milking is fully automated to ensure maximum comfort for the cows, and once collected, the milk is quickly transported to the processing plant to be pasteurised and bottled. This efficient, low‑carbon process keeps your milk fresh, sustainable and responsibly sourced.

The milk is then delivered to our regional depots, where our milkmen load their milk floats before delivering directly to your doorstep by 7am.
