Tims Dairy
- Location: Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire
Every pot of Tims Dairy yogurt is inspired by a Greek family recipe, using natural ingredients and gut-friendly bio-live bacteria stirred into fresh British milk. They offer spoonfuls of amazing taste, creamy texture, and wholesome dairy goodness from the heart of the Chiltern Hills.
The business was founded in a basement workroom on Warren Street, London in 1949 by Euripides Nicolaou, who was later joined by Michael Timotheou. Today, the company continues to be run by brothers Chris, Peter, Bides, and Tony.
Tims Dairy yogurts are made with fresh British pasteurized milk from the West Country and natural ingredients. The milk is delivered daily and carefully transformed into great-tasting live yogurts. Animal husbandry and cow welfare are very important to the company. Milk is sourced only from approved Red Tractor family farm suppliers who maintain high levels of animal welfare. Strong relationships with suppliers are built on ethical trust and commitment.
The Red Tractor policy acknowledges that the British climate is not conducive to keeping cows grazed outdoors year-round. During the winter months, cows are housed indoors for their welfare, with comforts and care ensuring their well-being. They graze outdoors during warmer months when the grass is nutritious, maximizing their outdoor grazing time.
The company is proud to work with FareShare, redistributing perfectly good food to help fight hunger across the UK. In a continued effort to reduce plastic usage, all over lids have been removed from 450g and 500g yogurt pots, including Greek-style yogurts and kefirs. This initiative reduces plastic usage by over 8 tonnes per year, contributing to a greener environment and the ultimate goal of net zero. Additionally, the company has joined the Reuse Revolution by partnering with Reuseabox. This initiative keeps cardboard boxes in use longer, delaying the recycling process, reducing the global demand for new cardboard, and helping to protect natural resources.
