Dixons Milk Ices Official.

50 delicious years

From humble beginnings Dixon’s has evolved to a unique and delicious product we have today.

So where did the name Dixon’s come from you may be asking? Actually it was in August 1961 when Edward Dixon acquired the business from Earnest Rhodes giving us the name we have today.

Many have tried to replicate our product and rumours have been many through the years about the ingredients we use to produce this much sought after milk ice. Some have even romanticised as to what it contains, to the point of it becoming a mystery many would love to solve, I can confidently assure you the mystery will remain for many more years to come. One little secret I can let out of the bag is that we use fresh milk from locally sourced farms, there are no artificial additives’ or stabilisers and it is made fresh every day, for your enjoyment.

By 1973 Edward Dixon needed to expand his business due to popular demand and sought out a local lad namely myself Charles Cartwright, the business grew rapidly from then onward, and I was rewarded for this by becoming a partner in 1992.

This has been a happy and rewarding partnership for many years, however retirement comes to everyone and in 2003 Edward retired from the business and his son Charles Dixon took over the role of joint partner from his father to work with myself.

So where to now you might ask after 50 years? We are expanding the business, but we can only remain within the local area to produce our delicious product, otherwise it would not be the same one you have loved for 50 years.

We look forward to welcoming the people of Huddersfield to our new shop which is located on Leeds Road Huddersfield which will be opening by Spring 2012.
