Would it be OK to translate this as an associated company in British English? It's the name of a transport company. I'd be very grateful for any help.

Don't translate
I personally never translate company names. If later they refer specifically to a Beteiligung (and not just the company name), I would probably choose "holding" or "holding company" in this case.
