Dairy Crest now expects to achieve annual cost savings across the group of more than 20 million this year.
Looking forward, Dairy Crest said that it had committed to investing around 45 million to add value to the whey produced as a by-product of the cheese made at its creamery in Davidstow, Cornwall. At present, the unit produces standard whey powder which is mostly sold to food manufacturers. The investment will allow the company to remove minerals from the whey and produce demineralised whey
