Devon cheese and butter wholesaler Millbrook Dairy has secured a £4m funding deal to support European growth plans.
The Bideford-based business is looking to double it exports sales - which already account for a fifth of its current total - across the continent over the next three years.
The company said it was looking to drive growth from its office in the Netherlands, from which it sources cheeses locally and sells to cheese specialists, manufacturers and retailers in markets such as Belgium, Germany and Poland.
