Meet the Supplier

Introducing the fabulous new branding for Tims - Greek Family Yogurt and Kefir - where Greek heritage meets British production in every delicious spoonful.

Founded in 1949, Tims Dairy is an award-winning family business, still largley run by the Timotheou brothers - Chris, Peter, Bides, and Tony. The story began in a ahumble basement workroom on Warren Street, London, where their forefathers brought traditional yogurt-making expertise from Cyprus to the UK. Today, the same dedication to authenticity and quality lives on in every pot.

For over 76 years, Tims Dairy has produced luxuriously thick and creamy Greek style yogurt, inspired by a treasured family recipe, fresh British West Country milk, bio-live cultures, and only the finest natrual ingredients. Based in the Chiltern Hills, the dairy is home to a passionate team of 80 skilled yogurt makers.

Known affectionately as "The Tims", the family is committed to crafting yogurt that is both delicious and nourishing - a taste of tradition made for modern families.

The new branding captures the spirit of the business and deliciousness of the yogurt: authentic, high-quality, and proudly rooted in both Greek heritage and British craftmanship.
