Bates Dairy is a large dairy based in Southport, Merseyside, which has been delivering milk to homes since 1939.
Bates Dairy is one of the largest independent dairies in Britain, with over 20 electric milk floats, most of them built by Ross in 1970s and 1980s. Bates also owns a specially converted Morrison Marsden milk float with many different compartments for use in Southport centre.
In April 2014, Bates upgraded most of its equipment, making it one of the most hygienic dairies in Merseyside. The company employs over 90 staff in a variety of roles including delivery, sales, administration and processing.
