- Our story
A business shaped by vision, people and innovation
Associated Asphalt was founded in 2014 with a clear aim to disrupt the current market by bringing together the best people and allowing them to perform within an environment that encouraged innovative thinking, empowered decision making and a good old fashioned ‘can do’ attitude.
What began as a small, focused organisation has grown organically into an international business operating across the highways, airfield, rail, retail and defence sectors. We also operate the UK’s largest fleet of mobile asphalt plants and supply asphalt to the general market through our network of static asphalt plants.
Today we continue to evolve through focused growth and strategic diversification. In all areas this is underpinned by our commitment to delivering innovation and great service in everything we do.

- Our ethos
Doing the job properly, every time
Our ethos is built around responsibility, discipline and pride in delivery. It shapes how we plan work, how we support our teams and how we deliver safely and consistently across complex, live environments.
01. Quality without compromise
We plan carefully, use the right materials and hold ourselves accountable for delivering work that lasts.
02. Safety above everything
Safety is not a priority that shifts. It underpins every decision, method and programme we deliver.
03. Accountability in every action
Everyone takes responsibility for their role, their decisions and the standard of work delivered.
04. Innovation that works
We apply innovation where it adds value, improving performance, efficiency and reducing carbon.
- How we work
A responsible, people-centred approach to delivery
Our approach brings together practical innovation, sustainability and social value to deliver infrastructure that performs well and supports the places it serves. We focus on long-term outcomes, responsible decision-making and doing the right thing for people, communities and environments connected to our work.
Innovation
Practical innovation that strengthens performance, efficiency and long-term infrastructure outcomes.

- Social impact
Supporting the communities where we work
Our work takes place in live communities across the UK. We take responsibility for the impact we have, supporting local people, skills development and community initiatives alongside the projects we deliver.
