The Society of Dairy Technology kicks off with its cheese-themed Summer Symposium on Wednesday 26 June, at 12 noon. Then, an afternoon of technical cheese processing issues are explored, along with a free lunch served, in the Members’ Pavilion at the venue. The day ends with the Society’s annual dinner the same evening. The timing of the 2024 SDT annual dinner (key sponsor, Diversey) is perfect for those attending the International Cheese and Dairy Expo on Thursday 27 June.

The next morning, it is the cheese judging for the International Cheese & Dairy Awards, with thousands of cheeses on display and hundreds of judges, and our very own Expo, held at the same time. Our industry seminars begin at 9:30 with Ecolab, and wind up at 15:30 with Savencia and the Academy of Cheese. Not to mention the dozens of exhibitors on hand, ranging from Amcor to Pedrollo Distribution and Masterpack.

It promises to be a jam-packed day, full of information, cheese and interesting exhibitors of all stripes.

For those who want some star power, Adam Hensen (from Countryfile – who does not love a farmer?) will be at the SDT Dinner, while James Martin and AJ Pritchard will be at Love Cheese Live on Friday and Saturday, 28-29 June. Plus, there will be master classes from Arla, Lactalis and Nomad, with a lot of exciting things to do, eat and see over the Love Cheese Live weekend.

Almost too much to take in, but do come along as the Expo is free to attend. Don’t miss all the excitement in Stafford!

It will be a few days not to miss out, if you want the latest about the industry. Who’s doing what, and what new equipment and products are available for the dairy processor. Cheese will be on offer, with thousands of entries and hundreds of judges.

There will be so many exhibitors to visit, so definitely wear your comfortable walking shoes for this, ranging from AB Dairy to Beijing Kwinbon Technology, and cheese makers including Belton Farms and Shepherds Purse. I was looking at Facchinetti equipment this week while I was in Italy, and thinking, I can spend more time examining it in Stafford in a few weeks’ time.

Personnel, automation, IT, enzymes, cheese making and every aspect of the dairy processing industry is on show here at the Expo. It is going to be a busy full day, I guarantee. That hall is packed full of amazing companies offering so much information (and cheese), it will be quite the event. Don’t miss it!

Grab your ticket and let’s see you at the Expo!

One of our key speakers and exhibitors is DFDS, which is a leading European transport and logistics company, serving customers across Europe and Turkey. “We move goods in trailers by ferry, road, and rail, across 66 logistics locations and employ more than 13,200 people,” says Tom Jackaman, DFDS Logistics business development manager.

“DFDS Logistics offers a full-service package, including contract logistics, cold-chain transport and warehousing as well as full load, part load and groupage services, with cross-docking, blast freezing and up tempering,” he continues. “In addition, we provide customs clearance services and Port Health (SIVEP) processing; validating CHEDs and paying port taxes, to ensure the smooth flow of goods at the border.

“Specifically for UK exporters of chilled dairy products, DFDS operates three times (3x) groupage departures per week and multiple daily trailers for FTL and PTL shipments. Using our knowledge and expertise in shipping Products of Animal Origin (POAO), DFDS provides a hassle-free, in-house process from departure to delivery.

“Moving goods and people by land and sea leaves a large carbon footprint. It is therefore our responsibility to review our impact on the environment and to secure a more sustainable future for the generations to come. In Logistics, our 2030 greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction target is a 75% reduction in GHG intensity from road transport, terminals and warehousing. Various initiatives are underway to help us achieve this goal, not least the deployment of 125 Electrical Volvo Trucks, making it one of Europe’s largest heavy-duty electric truck fleets.”
