Scotland's Top Dairy Expands It's Product Range

Graham’s Family Dairy has significantly expanded its product range in over 50 Spinneys stores across the UAE, in response to growing demand for quality dairy and high-protein products.

Graham’s Family Dairy, founded in 1939 in Stirlingshire, started supplying Spinneys in the

United Arab Emirates with home-grown produce in August 2023, and in only six months

the renowned UAE supermarket chain has added 11 new product listings, which will hit the

shelves this month.

The family-run business supplies award-winning products to 55 Spinneys stores across the

United Arab Emirates, as well as the 15 Waitrose stores in the UAE that are also part of the

Spinneys business.

Established over six decades ago, Spinneys has successfully evolved into one of the

country’s leading supermarket brands today, continually placing emphasis on innovation

and quality produce and being the go-to retailer for quality products. While a wide range of

dairy products are on offer, high-protein yoghurts are among the best performing, which

mirrors an international trend in high-protein food and drink product consumption, with

Protein 25 pots and pouches proving to be the best seller.

Robert Graham, Graham’s Family Dairy Managing Director, said:

“Working with an exceptional business across the globe is not only something we are very proud of, but it is testament to our Grandpa who founded Graham’s Family Dairy 85 years ago - who always had an eye for innovation. For the first time on record we saw our protein products outperform sales of conventional milk and sales of Protein 25 pouches increased by 800 per cent last year."

“Mirroring this trend we are seeing here in the UK, our first 12 Protein 25 pots and pouches that launched in Spinneys in August of last year performed extremely well and have continued to grow which led to Spinneys working with us to launch another 12 Graham’s lines in their stores across the UAE and another four to launch later in February."

“It gives an incredibly strong range and brand presence in the UAE with Spinneys and we are

excited and proud to be working and moving forward with such a fantastic business that also

shares our values of innovation and quality.”

In 2017, Graham’s Family Dairy Protein 22 products took the top spot at the world’s largest

annual food industry exhibition, winning the ‘Best Dairy Innovation Award’ at the Gulfood

Innovation Awards which are held annually in Dubai. The 2024 event, held at Dubai World

Trade Centre, will run from 19-23 February and Graham’s Family Dairy will be showcasing

its award-winning Scottish produce. Gulfood 2024 is expected to attract over 5,000

exhibiting brands and over 100,000 trade visitors.

Paul Crawford, Spinneys Commercial Manager said:

“The launch of Graham’s Family Dairy products has played a pivotal role in driving the growth of the functional health dairy category, which has seen a remarkable surge of over 60 per cent compared to last year. This success reaffirms our belief in offering high-quality, health-focused options that resonate with our customer’s evolving needs.”

“At Spinneys, our commitment is unwavering: we strive to continually excite our customers with new, innovative and convenient health products that are always on trend. That’s precisely why our partnership with Graham’s Family Dairy is a perfect fit for us. Our businesses share a natural synergy, united in our dedication to promoting an attainable, healthy-eating lifestyle. As we look to the future, we hope to continue to strengthen our partnership with the launch of further products.”

The latest additions to Spinneys include Graham’s Family Dairy innovative Confectionery

Protein 22 pots in four delicious dessert flavours - Stracciatella, Chocolate Caramel, Lemon

Cheesecake and Salted Caramel. Additionally, Skyr Icelandic-style yoghurt - in Natural,

Superberry, Strawberry, Vanilla, Raspberry, and Passion Fruit, Mango & Papaya - have

been stocked.
