THE future of Westbury Dairies has been secured after two of the three companies who saved it from administration in 2003 committed their future to the site.
Formerly known as United Milk, the plant on the Northacre Industrial Park went into receivership in 2003 and was saved by a consortium formed of co-operatives Dairy Farmers of Britain, First Milk and Milk Link.
A break clause in the agreement meant that any of the three cooperatives could end the relationship after five years.

Dairy Farmers of Britain has decided to leave the consortium but First Milk and Milk Link are staying to run the plant.
Milk Link corporate affairs director Will Sanderson said: "There was a possibility that all three co-operatives could have walked away but this hasn't happened and First Milk and Milk Link have shown a commitment to the business going forward."
