Graham\u2019s The Family Dairy has reported an 11% increase in sales to \u00a3172m, with pre-tax profits of \u00a34.5m.<\/p>\n
The Stirling-based dairy farm’s results for the year ending April 2026 also revealed its brand reach has increased by 63.2% in the year to July, according to the latest Kantar figures for England.<\/p>\n
To support growing demand and invest in future capacity, the business reinvested \u00a34.1m in capital expenditure, with a key focus being on the dairy\u2019s cottage cheese and protein manufacturing facilities.<\/p>\n
Managing director Robert Graham explained: “We\u2019ve continued to invest heavily in our manufacturing operations to ensure that we can meet the growing demand of our customers, while maintaining the highest standards of quality, service and efficiency.<\/p>\n
“Demand for natural high protein dairy products continues to accelerate and we have established ourselves as one of the category leaders.”<\/p>\n
Graham admitted that trading conditions “remain extremely challenging”, due to a combination of high fuel prices, rising packaging costs and milk price increases.<\/p>\n
“The strong sales growth achieved in 2026 has continued into 2027, despite significant inflationary pressures on fuel, energy and packaging costs, driven largely by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East,” he stated. “As fifth generation farmers ourselves, milking our own cows, we genuinely understand the pressures across the entire supply chain – a close relationships with our 100 supplying Scottish farms, combined with operational efficiencies from our capital investments, have allowed us to manage these headwinds effectively while delivering sustainable growth.”<\/p>\n
Graham\u2019s was founded in 1939 by Robert Graham in Bridge of Allan, where he reared 12 cows, milked them by hand and made deliveries by horse and cart. Today, the family business spans three generations and produces a range of products, including milk, cream, butter, ice cream, cottage cheese, quark, yoghurt and kefir.<\/p>\n
