First Milk Cheese Company boosts management team

The First Milk Cheese Company has appointed three new members to its leadership team.

David Cook, Stephen White and Stephen Knight have joined the company, which was created following First Milk’s purchase of Dairy Crest’s cheese making facilities in 2006.

Mr Cook will work with retailers to develop First Milk’s Highlands and Islands cheese brand, while Mr White will lead the cheese trading team at First Milk and business development with Morrison’s supermarket group.

Mr Knight will head the company’s dedicated Asda team. The supermarket currently takes cheese from First Milk’s Aspatria creamery in Cumbria.

“The appointments add depth and expertise to the leadership team as the strategy for the First Milk Cheese Company is developed,” Jeff Halliwell, FMCC managing director, said.
