UK-based dairy company Müller has announced that it will hire additional people to increase the production of butter, yoghurt and fresh milk.

As part of this initiative, the company will be recruiting 300 people who will be joining the company’s manufacturing and delivery operations to meet the growing demand for their products.

Müller Yogurt & Desserts CEO Bergen Merey said: “Dairy is the cornerstone of Britain’s food industry, so our products and supply chain has a major role to play in helping to feed the nation. This is no longer simply a duty, this is now an obligation.

“We’re part of an entrepreneurial, progressive and vibrant family-run business, and people are crucial to our success. Our message is simple, if you’re available and have the necessary skills and qualifications, then we’d love to hear from you.”

The company noted that the recruits will be also engaged to deliver essential food items such as eggs, bread, cheese, organic fruit and vegetables, as well as milk in reusable glass bottles.

The company further added that the new joiners will be given appropriate training, depending on experience, as well as a range of employment benefits.

Müller Milk & Ingredients CEO Jon Jenkins said: “Milk is found in 96% of Britain’s fridges and at this time of national crisis, ensuring the nutritional benefits of fresh milk are available to every household in the UK is galvanising our whole business. If you are currently out of work temporarily or permanently, we would love to talk to you about a role at Müller.”
