David Hartley MD of Wensleydale Creamery will be missed by many

Posted on: 09/12/20

Popular MD of the famous Wensleydale Creamery has left us having lost his battle to cancer last Wednesday.

A statement from the Creamery read; 

“David was instrumental in the management buyout, which saved the Creamery in 1992.  Over the past 28 years, under his direction, the business became an integral part of the local community, with coveted recognition for its award-winning range of cheeses.  Alongside the management team, David cemented Yorkshire Wensleydale cheese as a household favorite both in the UK and internationally.”

He was a great character and never failed to respond to Ian’s various questions. He will be missed by his family, friends and many in the UK Dairy Industry.
