A&F Haulage Ltd has proudly achieved Mission Zero Accreditation, marking another significant step in the company’s long-standing commitment to safety, sustainability, and operational excellence.

As one of the UK’s largest family-run haulage operators, A&F Haulage manages a fleet of over 200 vehicles from 11 strategically located depots, operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Founded in 1993, the company began transporting aggregates for the construction industry throughout the Northwest of England and has since evolved into a leading logistics provider offering nationwide coverage, contract management, bespoke transport solutions, and integrated supply chain services.

Today, A&F Haulage supports a diverse customer base, including several multinational organisations within the aggregate and construction sectors. To maintain its position as a trusted supply chain partner and meet growing contractual compliance requirements, the business continues to invest in recognised accreditations and best practice frameworks.

In line with its commitment to continuous improvement and sustainability, A&F Haulage pursued Mission Zero Accreditation across the entire organisation — an initiative aimed at strengthening environmental credentials, enhancing compliance, and future-proofing operations within the aggregate sector.

Reflecting on the accreditation journey, Chris Mallinson, at A&F Haulage Ltd, said:

“The transition to Mission Zero was a smooth and structured process. The Mission Zero team provided comprehensive support throughout every stage of the journey, offering expert guidance, gap analysis, and practical recommendations to maintain high standards of compliance.

Their consistent auditing approach and proactive advice were instrumental in helping us embed a culture of continuous improvement. Furthermore, the provision of discounted driver training across our fleet has strengthened our operational capability and laid the foundation for our next goal — achieving Mission Zero Gold Accreditation.”

He continued:

“The Mission Zero framework has delivered measurable benefits to our organisation, including improved compliance oversight, enhanced sustainability performance, and greater operational resilience.

We would highly recommend Mission Zero Accreditation to other transport and logistics businesses, whether to meet contractual requirements, undertake an independent review of internal compliance, or drive forward operational best practice.

The Mission Zero team’s expertise, professional support, and cost-effective training services make them an invaluable partner in achieving long-term business sustainability.”

Paul Grafton FCILT, Head of Compliance at Mission Zero, added:

“We’re delighted to welcome A&F Haulage Ltd to the growing number of operators achieving Mission Zero Accreditation. Their proactive leadership, strong operational standards, and commitment to sustainable growth reflect exactly what Mission Zero is designed to promote. A&F Haulage’s achievement demonstrates how continuous improvement and responsibility can drive real progress across the logistics industry.”

By achieving Mission Zero Accreditation, A&F Haulage continues to set the standard for responsible, safe, and sustainable logistics operations, leading by example and paving the way for others in the sector.

Mission Zero congratulates the entire A&F Haulage team on this fantastic achievement and looks forward to supporting their continued journey towards Gold.
