Congratulations to Steve on being awarded the Freedom of the City of London – an extraordinary honour and a milestone not only for him, but for the entire doorstep dairy industry.

In over 800 years of the City’s history, Steve is believed to be the first and only milkman to receive this prestigious recognition. That makes this achievement all the more remarkable and highlights the importance of a profession that has quietly served communities for generations.

The Freedom of the City of London is one of the oldest traditional ceremonies still in existence today. Dating back to 1237, it was originally granted to respected citizens, giving them the right to trade and conduct business within the City. Today, it is awarded to individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to their profession, community, or public life.

Steve’s award is a fitting tribute to his dedication, professionalism, and lifelong commitment to the dairy industry. At a time when doorstep milk delivery continues to play an important role in supporting local communities and British farming, this recognition shines a well-deserved spotlight on the people who keep the tradition alive.

This isn’t just a personal achievement for Steve—it’s a proud moment for every milkman, milkwoman, and independent dairy across the UK. It recognises the value of an industry built on reliability, service, and community spirit.

Congratulations, Steve, on a truly historic achievement. An honour thoroughly deserved. 👏🥛🇬🇧

More than just a delivery job. 🥛🚐

If you’re tired of the "drop and run" culture of modern delivery work, we have something different for you.

At Parker Dairies, we don’t just move boxes. We carry on a tradition of service that started years ago with John Parker. Our customers don’t just want a pint of milk; they want the reliability and care of a local milkie who actually knows the neighbourhood. 🏡✨

We are looking for people who:
✅ Take pride in a job well done.
✅ Actually care about getting the order right every time.
✅ Want to be a friendly, reliable face (even in the early hours!) for our London communities.

What’s in it for you?

Total Flexibility: Roles available from 3 to 6 days a week.
Work-Life Balance: Finish your shift while the rest of London is still stuck in traffic.
Independence: Manage your own round on our modern electric floats.
If you’re a "parcel dumper," this isn't for you. But if you value service and want a stable role in a family-run business, we’d love to chat.

What is matcha?

Matcha is made from finely ground, shade-grown green tea leaves. Unlike traditional steeped green tea where leaves are discarded, the whole leaf is consumed, delivering a highly concentrated dose of antioxidants, natural caffeine, and the amino acid L-theanine for calm, focused energy.

So now you know what matcha is it's time to enjoy it for yourself.....
