Modern Milkman Raises £10M To Expand Doorstep Delivery Service

Founded in 2019 by Simon Mellin Modern Milkman started as a local milk delivery service and has since grown into a national operation, operating an optimized supply chain that sources fresh produce from independent British suppliers.

Modern Milkman’s app-based platform automates routing and order processing to match deliveries with demand and minimize waste. Customers receive groceries and breakfast items up to three times weekly in reusable glass bottles and returnable containers, promoting a closed-loop system that cuts single-use packaging.

Mellin said Modern Milkman offers a distinctive and convenient service for households across the UK adding that the new investment will support the development of more integrated doorstep services. He noted that the company’s growth and customer satisfaction reflect strong demand for sustainable alternatives positioning the business to scale while helping households reduce their environmental impact.

Modern Milkman now serves over 100,000 households across the UK and expanded into the U.S. in January 2024 through a strategic acquisition.

The new investment will support the growth of its doorstep delivery model and logistics platform with plans to add integrated services that make sustainable choices easier and more convenient for customers.
