Wincanton
Wincanton is a small town as well as electoral ward in South Somerset, southwest England. The community lies off the A303 road, a major course between London and also South West England, and also has some light market. The town and also selecting ward has a population of 5,272. In the late 1890s the West Surrey Central Dairy Company bought a regional creamery. In 1908, after establishing a dried out milk talcum powder, it altered its name to Cow & Gate. The creamery as well as milk products factory had its very own house sidings from the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway station, giving accessibility for milk trains. In order to deal with the transportation problems across its quickly increasing creamery, milk bottling as well as front door shipment network, Cow & Gate developed a specialized logistics arm in 1920. Spun out in 2002 from successor business Unigate, Wincanton PLC is the UK's 2nd largest logistics company. The business still has a dairy items base in the town, although its head office function transferred to Chippenham, Wiltshire in 2005. In 1999, Unigate offered its remaining dairies products to Dairy Crest, which still has a creamery and also milk processing plant in the community, but has offered the cheese business to Adams Foods Ltd., manufacturer of the Pilgrim's Choice brand of Cheddar cheese, in 2010 the second best marketing brand in the UK.
