Our story – “The minds behind the Moo”

Millar Moo didn’t just appear in the drink’s aisle – it was dreamtup by a passionate pair Clarke and Andrea Millar, who have worked alongside each other from 2017.

Clarke an experienced food entrepreneur from Northern Ireland founded Clarke Millar Foods in 2012 in a custom designed foodunit near Belfast. With over 30 years of experience in the food industry, he has built a range of food products, including soft drinks, ready meals and snacks under a variety of convenience
food brands.

Clarke is passionate about everything business related and is constantly looking for new opportunities and gaps in the food and drinks market.

Andrea is the creative one with a previous career in business and marketing. Andrea plays an important role behind the scenes with brand development and was the one who designed the brand logo and famous Millar Moo cow!

In 2019 Clarke spotted a gap in the drinks market when browsing supermarket shelves (something that Clarke spends a lot of his spare time doing !) and noticed that flavoured milk had become a bit boring and milkshakes a bit too unhealthy- so together they set about creating a fun new milk brand that turned “milk” an essential everyday drink into something fun, memorable and most importantly one that’s nutritionally good
for you and “guilt free”!
