Production Operative

Who we are

We're Müller UK & Ireland, a family‑run dairy business and we're experts at what we do. Dairy is a key part of a healthy and balanced diet and we're super proud to help meet the nutritional needs of millions of people, every, single, day. To do this, our business has been split into two areas: Müller Milk & Ingredients (MMI) and Müller Yogurt & Desserts (MYD).

Milk flows through everything at Müller - from farm to factory to fridge. But the true impact comes from our people, in each and every corner of the business, working hard and as a team to put smiles on faces everywhere, making each day delicious for our shoppers.

As the UK's most popular dairy brand, we're always striving to make a real difference for our planet, our partners and our people, making sure we're helping to create a more sustainable dairy future. We're growing to keep up with the millions of people reaching for our branded and private label products on shelves everywhere.
