Wincanton is a small town and also selecting ward in South Somerset, southwest England. The community lies off the A303 road, a major route in between London and South West England, as well as has some light market. The town and selecting ward has a population of 5,272. In the late 1890s the West Surrey Central Dairy Company purchased a local creamery. In 1908, after creating a dried milk baby powder, it transformed its name to Cow & Gate. The creamery and also dairy items factory had its very own exterior sidings from the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway station, offering access for milk trains. In order to handle the transportation troubles across its quickly increasing creamery, milk bottling and front door delivery network, Cow & Gate developed a committed logistics arm in 1920. Drawn out in 2002 from successor business Unigate, Wincanton PLC is the UK's second largest logistics company. The firm still has a milk items base in the town, although its head office function transferred to Chippenham, Wiltshire in 2005. In 1999, Unigate sold its remaining dairies to Dairy Crest, which still has a creamery as well as milk processing plant in the town, but has actually offered celebrity organisation to Adams Foods Ltd., manufacturer of the Pilgrim's Choice brand of Cheddar cheese, in 2010 the second-rate marketing brand name in the UK.
