In the late 1890s the West Surrey Central Dairy Company purchased a regional creamery. In 1908, after developing a dried out milk baby powder, it changed its name to Cow & Gate. The creamery and milk products factory had its own sidings from the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway station, offering access for milk trains. In order to deal with the transport issues across its rapidly broadening creamery, milk bottling and doorstep 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 business. The firm still has a dairy items base in the town, although its head office function relocated to Chippenham, Wiltshire in 2005. In 1999, Unigate marketed its staying dairies to Milk Crest, which still has a creamery and also milk handling plant in the town, but has sold the cheese business 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.
