As an essential part of the UK’s food supply chain, the milling industry plays a critical role in supporting sustainability. Flour milling is a zero waste process, with the majority becoming the flour that goes into bread and other food products, and the rest becoming bran for animal feed. During Zero Waste Week, we're sharing millers' efforts surrounding sustainability.

It's officially Snack-tember, and we're supporting British Nutrition Foundation in helping students and young people live healthy lifestyles. Taking place for the first time, #Snacktember25 is all about healthier, more sustainable snacking.

Flour milling sits at the heart of the food supply chain, transforming wheat into one of our most essential ingredients: flour. And the people working in flour mills are at the heart of everything we do, nourishing the nation every day. For more than a century and continually modernised, UK Flour Millers has provided training created by millers, for millers. Our Distance Learning Programme helps employees (millers, those working in flour mills, and other industry players) build their careers by developing the skills and knowledge needed to thrive, while also strengthening their organisations and the industry as a whole. And this is the final week to register for the 2025–2026 session. Learn more and register here: https://lnkd.in/duNvhE3Z

The clotted cream then jam vs. jam then clotted cream debate is alive and well in our office this National Afternoon Tea Week. But whatever order you choose, one ingredient is at the heart of the celebration: flour. Flour is a foundation of our food supply, present in approx. 30% of grocery store items, and essential to countless favourites, from scones and sandwiches to sausages and pastries. It represents a supply chain of farmers, millers, and bakers. As we enjoy our scones, we also celebrate the people, skills, and dedication that keep this everyday essential year-round. JUMP IN: Where do you sit on the great scone debate? #NationalAfternoonTeaWeek #AfternoonTeaWeek #Flour #Farmers #Millers #Bakers #Scones #FlourMillers #FlourMilling #UKFlourMillers #FABFlour

The flour milling industry is built on collaboration, expertise, and a commitment to excellence. By working together and investing in training and development, we can ensure that our workforce remains skilled, adaptable, and ready to meet the challenges of tomorrow. The Distance Learning Programme is a key part of this effort, helping professionals across the UK and overseas grow their knowledge, gain practical skills, and strengthen our entire milling community. And enrolments are open through the end of August: https://lnkd.in/eduTJkYt As Steve Faerber said, "Here’s to partnerships that are well-ground and full of potential!"

As we dig into sandwiches, scones, and other treats in celebration of National Afternoon Tea Week, we herald the essential primary ingredient: flour. In fact, the foods on each layer of a traditional afternoon tea menu are manifestations of the farming, milling, and baking supply chain, and our members work 24/7 to help produce the 12 million loaves of bread and 10 million cakes per day that may make it onto those plates. If you want to join in and embrace the flour-based goodies, why not try FAB Flour’s newest recipe for really quite special scones: https://lnkd.in/edZJU9dC #AfternoonTeaWeek #NationalAfternoonTeaWeek #FABFlour #Flour #UKFlourMillers

For #farm24 we’re celebrating British farmers’ contribution as part of the farming, milling, baking supply chain, underpinning food security and food safety through the supply of up to four million tonnes of homegrown wheat a year, used in the production and supply of staples including breads, biscuits, and cakes, plus pizzas, soups, sausages, and much more besides.
