The Company's latest dairy at Bridgwater in Somerset – a £100 million investment - is known as 'Britain's Green and White Dairy'. Featuring advanced technology and systems which are designed to minimize the use of energy, water, packaging and oil, Bridgwater is widely acknowledged to be the most environmentally advanced dairy in the world. Robert Wiseman Dairies has located all of its dairies as close as possible to where dairy farms are located but on arterial routes and distribution centers close to population centers. This helps to the cost and environmental impact of hauling milk for long distances. Crucially, it also ensures that milk produced locally, can be processed and packed in the locality.
