Müller Milk & Ingredients (MMI) has launched a major recruitment push. The business said it was looking to fill over 150 vacancies to ensure that it can maintain the high service levels for its private-label dairy customers. Vacancies include HGV drivers and production workers.
Jon Jenkins, Chief Executive at Müller Milk & Ingredients said: “Despite some of the biggest peacetime challenges the UK food supply chain has faced, our business model, which is designed with strategic customer partnerships and first-class service levels in mind, has proved exceptionally resilient. With an industry-wide driver shortage in 2021, we still successfully delivered over 99% of our deliveries to our retail partners over the course of the year.
“The key to this success was threefold: the vast majority of our logistics operations are in-house rather than outsourced to a third-party, we were able to work really closely and collaboratively with our customers and supplying farmers to find the right solutions, and of course, none of this would have been possible without the ongoing commitment and loyalty of our hard-working colleagues.
“Despite these measures, labour shortages are one of the key issues facing the food supply chain, and that’s why our message is simple, if you have the necessary skills and qualifications to come and work at Müller Milk & Ingredients, then we would love to hear from you.”
