Plank’s Dairy (Pensworth), Warminster, Announces Price Increase For Milk

Friday 10th August 2012

A notice from Plank’s Dairy at Woodcock Road, Warminster ~

Dear Customer,

I am sure you have seen in the media that British farmers are under extreme financial pressures due to a fall in the price of dairy commodities and a rise in the cost of production.

Following involvement from the National Farmers Union, there has been a significant increase in the price of milk paid to farmers, from the milk processors,  in order to protect our dairy industry.

Pensworth, being a traditional family business fully supports any initiative which maintains milk supply from our farmers, and ensures continuity of supply of British milk.

As  a result of these increases, we find it necessary to increase the price of our milk by 3 pence per pint, and 5 pence per litre. All 500ml long life milk and flavoured milks will also increase by 3 pence per unit. These increases will be effective from Thursday 16th August.

I realise that no increases are welcome in the current economic climate, but trust you understand our need to support our valuable dairy industry, and that you will continue to purchase your milk via the doorstep delivery service.

Yours faithfully,
Gideon Bishop
Sales Director.

King Street Dairy, Warminster

1970

An advert for King Street Dairy from a 1970 Guide provided to families of military personnel at the School of Infantry, Warminster.

As you can see, it’s from the time when the King Street Dairy was actually at King Street, prior to the business moving to Woodcock Road. The advert also refers to the Dairy Shop at 12 High Street, Warminster, selling dairy and farm produce.
