Back in 1985, Doorstep Deliveries began with a simple idea: bring back the traditional milk round â but make it better, fresher, and more convenient for modern life. What started as a small local service has grown into one of the Midlandsâ most trusted doorstep delivery services, serving thousands of households and businesses every week.
Hereâs how we got here.
đ„ 1985: A Simple Start With a Big Purpose
When Doorstep Deliveries first launched, the goal wasnât to build a big business. It was to reconnect people with local food, support nearby farmers, and keep a cherished British tradition alive.
Doorstep milk delivery was fading fast at the time. Supermarkets were taking over, and many local rounds were disappearing. But we believed there was still a place â and a need â for fresh, local milk delivered with care.
So we started small. A handful of customers. A few earlyâmorning routes. A commitment to doing things properly.
đ± Growing With Our Community
As word spread, something amazing happened: people loved the service. They loved knowing where their milk came from. They loved supporting local farmers. They loved the convenience of fresh produce arriving before they even woke up.
And they told their neighbours.
From there, Doorstep Deliveries grew steadily â not through big advertising campaigns, but through trust, reliability, and genuine community support.
We expanded our delivery areas, added more rounds, and built strong relationships with local farms within a 30âmile radius of the processing plant. Every step of the way, we kept our values at the centre:
âą Fresh, local products
âą Fair support for farmers
âą Reliable doorstep delivery
âą Friendly, personal service
đ More Than Milk: Expanding Our Range
As customers asked for more, we listened.
Over the years, Doorstep Deliveries has grown from a milk delivery service into a full doorstep grocery round. Today, we deliver:
âą Fresh milk from local farms
âą Bread and bakery treats
âą Eggs
âą Fruit and veg handpicked daily from the wholesale market
âą Juices, yoghurts, and more
All delivered with the same care and earlyâmorning reliability that defined us from day one.
đ Modern Convenience, Traditional Values
While the heart of Doorstep Deliveries is still the classic milk round, weâve embraced modern tools to make life easier for customers:
âą Online ordering
âą Flexible payment options
âą Easy account management
âą Regular delivery days for each area
But the spirit remains the same: local people delivering local produce to local homes and offices.
đ§Ą 2024 and Beyond: Still Growing, Still Local
Today, Doorstep Deliveries serves a wide stretch of the Midlands â from BurtonâonâTrent to Coalville, Ashby to Tamworth, Lichfield to Swadlincote, and dozens of villages in between.
Yet despite the growth, weâve stayed true to our roots:
âą Supporting local farmers
âą Keeping supply chains short
âą Delivering quality you can taste
âą Treating customers like neighbours, not numbers
The rise of Doorstep Deliveries isnât just our story â itâs yours. Every customer who chose local over supermarket shelves helped shape what weâve become.
