GRAHAM'S THE Family Dairy has widened its doorstep delivery service to serve more people across Scotland mid-lockdown.

The company's doorstep delivery service of milk in glass bottles was launched last year across the Highlands and Aberdeenshire and proved a popular move, providing customers with a 'nostalgic' and sustainable option to enjoy their milk. It has now been extended to encompass Edinburgh, Kinross, Perth, Fife, Kintore, Inverness and Nairn.

Graham's has also expanded the delivered product range, offering milk, eggs, cream, butter, Skyr and Protein 22, with priority being given to the most vulnerable people across local communities.

Managing director Robert Graham said: “We had always hoped in time to build up our doorstep service and dairy offer, but this has now taken priority. We understand that some people are unable to leave their homes to buy milk or butter, so we very quickly mobilised our teams across the country to be in a position to offer this personal service to more people and areas across Scotland.

“As a family, we are incredibly proud of our people working across every area of our business in these challenging times," he continued. "We are all committed to and have huge pride in our role to help 'Feed the Nation'. We are as grateful as ever for the hard work, positivity and determination of our farmers, suppliers and everyone at Graham’s, they are all very much appreciated."

New customer Susanne Baird, of Inverleith, Edinburgh, added: “That a local business is diversifying their offer to now serve their communities at this time is admirable, and I am more than happy to support them. I truly look forward to my Graham’s delivery in the mornings, it really is the small things that mean so much to people at the moment."
