AN ORGANIC dairy has taken a delivery itself after teaming up with a family car dealership.

Acorn Dairy has boosted its fleet of milk vans to nine thanks to Vauxhall dealer Sherwoods.

Two three-and-a-half tonne chassis Vauxhall Movanos were converted by Gray and Adams.

They feature built in chiller units and each vehicle can carry up to 1,400 pints.

Both based in Darlington, Acorn Dairy has provided Sherwoods with its milk for many years.

Graham Tweddle, dairy owner, said: “This represents a significant investment for us and it is fantastic that two Darlington companies are working together so well.”

Simon MacConachie, Sherwoods general manager, said: “Our staff and customers have been drinking Acorn’s milk in their tea for years so it’s great to play a part in its continued delivery door to door.”
