Freshways/Capital Milk deal hits a nerve cord

According to two farmer suppliers, some of the Freshways suppliers in the south of England who left to supply Capital Milk are now supplying Freshways on a better price and deal than Freshways direct suppliers are currently on.

The farmers who moved to Capital saw their milk brokered to Muller but post Mullers decision to close its South East processing facility Capital have delivered the milk back to Freshways and fair do’s to Capital, the deal is allegedly better than the deal Freshways is giving its own suppliers under its new contract terms. This has not gone unnoticed and proved to be another irritant.
