What makes a milk delivery service so special?
This year marks 80 years of Creamline delivering to doorsteps across the North West – a milestone we’re incredibly proud of.
What started as a few bottles for local businesses in 1945 has grown into a full home delivery service spanning Manchester, Stockport, Warrington, Chester, and Wirral, offering everything from fresh fruit and veg and artisanal goods from local producers to all your daily essentials. But at the heart of it all is still one thing: local milk, delivered fresh to your doorstep by your local milkman.
So why, 80 years on, is doorstep milk delivery still going strong?
It's all about convenience
There’s something refreshingly simple about opening your door and finding your weekly shop waiting for you. No queues, no lugging heavy bags from the car, no last-minute panic about running out of milk for your morning brew. For busy households, that ease makes a real difference – and it’s part of why our service has lasted through eight decades of change.
Freshness you can taste
Our milk is sourced from trusted local farms and delivered with care. It doesn’t sit on supermarket shelves, and it hasn’t travelled hundreds of miles. That freshness is something we’ve prided ourselves on since day one.
Supporting local, always
Creamline has always been proud of its roots. Over the years, we’ve grown close ties with incredible producers right here in the North West – and by choosing Creamline, you’re supporting local jobs, family-run farms, and artisan makers. That’s something we know our customers really value.
A greener choice
Our traditional glass bottle service – something we've offered since the very beginning – is more popular than ever. Bottles are returned, washed, and reused, meaning our customers can enjoy their milk while reducing plastic waste. It’s a little thing, but it adds up.
It’s personal
Our roundspeople know their rounds inside-out. Some of our customers have been with us for decades – it’s that personal connection, the sense of trust and reliability, that’s at the core of what we do.
From 1945 to today – thank you!
As we celebrate 80 years of Creamline, we want to thank every customer who’s chosen to shop local, to support doorstep delivery, and to keep one of the nation’s favourite traditions alive.
Whether you’re new to Creamline or have been with us for years, we’re proud to be part of your daily routine – and here’s to many more mornings together.
