Founded in 2019 by Simon Mellin, Modern Milkman began as a local milk round and has grown into a nationwide grocery delivery operation focused on reducing single-use packaging. Its app automates routing and order processing, enabling deliveries of milk, groceries, and breakfast items up to three times per week in reusable glass bottles and returnable containers. The company sources produce from independent British suppliers and operates a closed-loop supply chain to minimize waste. Modern Milkman now serves more than 100,000 households across the UK and entered the U.S. market in January 2024 via a strategic acquisition. Customer demand for sustainable alternatives underpins the firm’s expansion strategy, and new funds will be directed toward integrating additional doorstep services to boost convenience. To date, Modern Milkman has raised more than £60 million in funding to scale its logistics platform and product offering.
