Graham’s Family Dairy says it has entered a new phase of national expansion, reporting record sales, broader supermarket distribution and fresh industry accolades after the 2025 Great Taste Awards. According to a recent company profile in Larder Magazine, the family‑run business — founded in 1939 in Bridge of Allan — has extended multi‑product listings into major chains and seen marked uplift across several core ranges. (This account is supported by recent reporting in Scottish Financial News.)

The sales picture is strikingly specific. Cottage cheese has grown by around 52% year‑on‑year and the company’s Gold Top and Gold Smooth milks have posted roughly 50% uplifts, reflecting a renewed consumer appetite for traditional dairy lines. At the same time protein‑rich SKUs are driving incremental value: Graham’s Protein 25 pouches rose by about 21% and Skyr pouches by some 43% in value terms, trends that industry coverage links to deliberate product development and shelf‑space wins.

Those commercial gains are echoed in the company’s published accounts and trade reporting. Scottish Financial News and The Scottish Farmer note that Graham’s reported a turnover of about £153.1 million and a pre‑tax profit of £2.8 million for the year ending 31 March 2024, and that the business invested roughly £5 million in capital projects as it scaled capacity and distribution. Trade coverage also points to export moves into markets including Ireland and the UAE and says protein lines now represent a material and growing share of sales.

The retail roll‑out has been multi‑channel. Larder Magazine and Scottish Financial News describe extended listings across Lidl, Tesco and Sainsbury’s, while separate reporting in The Herald highlights a significant listing with Costco — initially for Strawberry Protein 25 multipacks — across UK and Scandinavian warehouses. Graham’s own stockist information points to availability via independents, farm shops and national chains, and the company offers an interactive stockist search to help consumers find where specific lines are stocked.

Quality recognition has accompanied commercial growth. The company secured multiple two‑star Great Taste awards in 2025 for products including its Raspberry Kefir Drink, Natural Kefir Drink, Natural Kefir Yogurt and Isle of Skye Sea Salt Butter, with additional one‑star accolades for items such as Mango, Passion Fruit & Papaya Kefir Drink and Cottage Cheese, according to the Larder Magazine report. This builds on an earlier run of Great Taste honours in 2024, when the dairy also took multiple two‑star and one‑star awards, trade press recorded.

Management frames the progress as the product of long‑standing craft and selective innovation. Speaking to Larder Magazine, managing director Robert Graham said, "It's amazing to see how far we've come." Marketing commentary in trade coverage has likewise underlined a commitment to quality and tradition, even as the business pursues new formats and higher‑protein propositions. Journalists and analysts note that the company’s public statements should be read alongside its audited financials and third‑party award accreditation.

Graham’s own stockist portal reinforces the outward push: the site offers a searchable list of retail partners, product categories and sign‑up routes for potential stockists, signalling a continued emphasis on trade relationships and availability across formats. The platform is promoted as being updated regularly to reflect new listings and assortment changes.

Taken together, commercial reporting, audited results and industry commentary portray a company balancing two converging consumer dynamics — a nostalgia‑led return to richer, traditional milks and an accelerating demand for protein‑forward dairy alternatives. Trade pieces highlight that this dual demand has informed the firm’s capital allocation and export strategy, even as management warns that maintaining supply, margin and product quality will require continued investment.

Looking ahead, the company says it will continue to invest in innovation and distribution to convert recent momentum into sustainable growth, while trade reporting flags the usual sector caveats: competition for shelf space, raw‑material cost pressure and the challenges of exporting perishable goods. Observers say the next tests for Graham’s will be translating award‑led brand acclaim into durable market share across national multiples and international outlets.
