Founded six years ago with a passion for quality and creativity, The Willen Ice Cream Company has grown into a thriving local business, delivering delicious, hand-crafted premium dairy, dairy-free and vegan artisan ice creams that showcase the best of Milton Keynes. From working with local fruit growers, farmers and family businesses to embracing eco-friendly practices, sustainability and community is woven into every scoop it makes.
The team works with local producers and collaborators to create deliciously unique flavours and award-winning ice cream, including its Simply Dairy flavour, which was awarded a coveted Gold Great Taste Star in 2021 at The Great Taste Awards.
The Willen Ice Cream Company also received the sought-after Sustainability Award at The SME Milton Keynes and Buckinghamshire Awards 2023.
Richard Gordon, owner of The Willen Ice Cream Company said: “Winning this award is true testament to how hard we have worked to grow our business from our home kitchen to a brand-new production facility that helps us keep up with demand.
“As a small business, we’ve poured our hearts into creating not only exceptional ice cream but also a business that values sustainability and community.
“This award isn’t only for the team – it also goes to our amazing and loyal customers. We wouldn’t be here without them, and for that we are very grateful.”
Looking ahead, The Willen Ice Cream Company is aiming to continue growing the business, future innovations and new flavour ranges, as well as working with more responsible, local producers and businesses, and improving sustainability practices further.
