Mainly Rank Hovis & Spillers Milling

Hi Spillers were bought by Rank hovis in the 90s but the mergers and monplies decided they would be too big so Ranks sold some mills to kerry foods who kept Gainsbourgh mill and sold the reminder of the mills to ADM milling an Amercian company they had Avonmouth,tilbury,newcastle,liverpool.Rank hovis had Cambridge which later shut then in 2003 Allied mills sold their Tewkesbury,edinburgh,corby,seaforth,knottingly,castleford and the bag side of tilbury to ADM and they closed Newcastle,Tewkesbury and castleford mills.So sadly the spillers the millers name was lost forever.But rank hovis still trade with the transport run by DHL mostly.Hope this helps a bit cheers flourpower.
