We are thrilled to announce that J&M Murdoch & Son Ltd has become the first large company in Scotland to achieve the Mission Zero (MZ) accreditation. This achievement reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, fleet compliance, and responsible fleet management. Founded in 1965 and incorporated in 1975, J&M Murdoch & Son Ltd is a family-owned business that has earned a strong reputation in the waste management and recycling industry.

With a fleet of 74 HGVs and 28 trailers, the company offers a diverse range of services including skip hire, trade waste, liquid waste management, plant transport, aggregates recycling and waste transfer.

Achieving the Mission Zero accreditation is a significant accomplishment underscoring their dedication to maintaining the highest standards.

Transport Manager Mandy McAdam stated, “We are proud to have achieved accreditation with Mission Zero – Quality Standard  for an exemplary fleet of 74 waste management vehicles. This milestone reflects our unwavering commitment to our fleet compliance. This recognition inspires us to continue leading the way in responsible fleet management. Mission Zero made the process very straightforward and we were thrilled to have passed our audit at the first attempt. The portal makes the process so much easier with our evidence being uploaded in advance and our audit online.

With the accreditation scheme recognised as the equivalent to FORS – MISSION ZERO is definitely, the most user friendly and cost effective option on the market.”


This accreditation not only highlights J&M Murdoch & Son Ltd’s leadership in fleet management but also sets a new standard in the waste management industry in Scotland, inspiring other businesses to pursue responsible and sustainable practices.
