Who we are

We’re Müller UK & Ireland, a family-run dairy business and we’re experts at what we do. Dairy is a key part of a healthy and balanced diet and we’re super proud to help meet the nutritional needs of millions of people, every, single, day. To do this, our business has been split into two areas: Müller Milk & Ingredients (MMI) and Müller Yogurt & Desserts (MYD).

We’re here to talk MYD, the ones aiming to put a smile on the nation’s face. We’re all about *Deep breath* Müller Corner, Müller Light, Müller Bliss, Müller Rice, Müller FRijj, Müller X MyProtein and Biotiful Gut Health.

Why Müller?

Yogurts and desserts flow through everything at Müller – from farm to factory to fridge. But the true impact comes from our people, in each and every corner of the business, working hard and as a team to put smiles on faces everywhere, making each day delicious for our shoppers. And, as the UK's most popular dairy brand, we’re always striving to make a real difference for our planet, our partners and our people, putting sustainability at the heart of everything we do. 

Did you know that 29 Müller yogurt and desserts are eaten every second? And that’s just the start, with ambitious plans to grow, while continuing to make a real difference for the planet, our partners and people, we’re looking for a team of fridge-fillers and self-starters to help us on our mission to put a smile on the nation’s face. Join a team of fridge-fillers and self-starters just doing their bit for the bigger picture.
