What Mountain Transport does

Mountain Transport is a UK-based B2B haulage provider operating a fleet of more than 60 collection vehicles out of Sleaford, Lincolnshire, as a division of family-owned parent Mid UK Recycling Ltd. The company delivers three core transport services: walking floor haulage at 95m³ capacity for plastics, baled recyclables, paper, cardboard, residual wastes, fuels, wood chip, bark, composts, and tyre chips; 44-tonne articulated tipper haulage for aggregates, glass, soils, compost, and bark; and skip plus roll-on roll-off transport for construction, council, and manufacturing sites. All vehicles are uniformly equipped with live GPS tracking, digital on-board weighers, and reversing cameras, and the company maintains its own three-bay HGV workshop for in-house fleet upkeep.

The business model is transaction-fee haulage sold on contracted or ad-hoc terms, with 30-day payment terms available to approved business account holders via an online onboarding form. Go-to-market is sales-led, targeting enterprises and mid-market customers across waste management, recycling, energy from waste, renewable energy, aggregate, horticultural, construction, local government, and manufacturing segments, primarily through direct phone contact, website enquiry, and callback forms. Service coverage spans all four UK nations (England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland). Skip hire is offered through affiliated brand Green Mountain Skip Hire under a zero-landfill commitment.

Operationally, the company is part of the broader Mid UK Recycling group, which provides vertical integration across recycling, waste management, transport, and skip hire services. There are no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or third-party institutional investors, and the business is structured as a private, family-owned entity with no public listing.
