Milk Marque was a British dairy industry co-operative that was the successor to the Milk Marketing Board.[1] At one point, Milk Marque controlled over half of the UK market for raw milk.[2]

In 2000, Milk Marque's activities were split into three separate regional successor companies following a report by the Monopolies and Mergers Commission.[3][4] The three successor companies were Axis, Zenith Milk, and Milk Link.[4][5]

Milk Marque continued as a corporate entity subsequent to the break-up, becoming a private limited company.[1]
