Dairy Board increases UK market slice with Cheese Warehouse deal

The Irish Dairy Board (IDB) has bought the Cheese Warehouse, a British-based cheese ingredients company.

The move will strengthen the IDB’s position in the British food ingredients and food service sectors, which are a key market for Irish dairy exports.

Established in 2004, the Cheese Warehouse operates from facilities in North Shropshire where it custom formulates a range of cheese solutions for both food service and food manufacturing customers. It has grown consistently and achieved a turnover of about €38m for the year ended Feb 29.
