Our Milk & More Community Heroes

THE MILKMEN WHO GO THE EXTRA MILE

From chasing down runaway dogs to saving lives, going the extra mile is all part and parcel of life as a Milkman. However, heroic deeds deserve a celebration — that's why our milkmen and women are honoured with Community Hero Awards. Find out all about our latest winners.
 


Atul the Milkman

Atul Shah, Erith

Congratulations to Milkman Atul on donating an incredible 100 pints of blood.

Atul first gave blood at just 21 years old back in 1981, and joined Milk & More as a Milkman in 1984. Decades later, he’s still giving back, both to his community and to those in need. To mark the occasion, we lined up 100 pints of milk to represent the amazing amount he’s donated over the years.

It’s people like Atul that make us so proud of our milkmen and women up and down the country: true hearts of the community.

Michael Fielder, Polegate

Michael was shocked when he came across a car crash with an unconscious man still trapped inside. Without wasting a moment, he pulled over his milk float and ran to help. Teaming up with a nearby helper and armed with the jack from his float, they bravely smashed the window to get the door open. Even though the car caught fire during their heroic efforts, they managed to rescue the man and move him to safety by the time emergency services arrived.
 

Phil Bray, Derby

Phil was out delivering in Ripley when he discovered a young girl barely conscious in the road. Thinking fast, he pulled up next to her with his hazard lights on before calling 999 and then helped keep her warm until rescue came.
