Regional Franchisees

Ed James - Northumberland Tyne & Wear
Ed was one of the country's first Regional Franchisees and established the Northumberland, Tyne and Wear region in November 2003. The business has developed consistently over the past four years but is now experiencing even more dramatic growth as the Fastway network expands. Currently 16 couriers operate within the region. As a result of growth, Courier Franchisees are now sub dividing their territories by selling part of their exclusive area (a process we call splitting) for a capital gain to enable them to cope with the demand for their services.

Parcel movements have more than doubled each year and this year the Regional Franchise it is on target to see almost 0.5 million parcel movements through the Blaydon depot. Ed's business now has a turnover in excess of £1.2 million per annum, and is about to chalk up its 1000th customer.

In September 2007 Ed won the accolade of Fastway Couriers first ever UK Regional Franchisee of the Year, a honour that also earned him and his wife a two week holiday in Australia and the opportunity to visit the largest Fastway Regional Franchises in the world.

Amit Desai - West Yorkshire
Franchising provided Amit Desai the chance to become his own boss, with the franchisor safety net of the tried and tested Fastway system that is successfully being used by over 1500 franchisees around the world. Amit was 21 when he bought the West Yorkshire Regional Franchise in November 2004. "In my job I didn't like the fact that my income was capped because of my youth. I bought the franchise with two others for £100,000 and now have now granted all of our original courier territories, our Courier Franchisees are now so busy that they are beginning to split their territories; the next stage of our business development. We recently moved to a new depot where we have the capacity to handle 8,500 parcels a week but are already planning another move next year to a 30,000 plus sq foot depot to cope with the continuing growth of the business. I have been impressed by the training and support provided by the UK Master Franchise. My business is growing and the future is very exciting for everyone involved in the Fastway network" says Amit, now 25.

Courier Franchises With Fastway Couriers -

The World's Largest Courier Franchise

Within ten years of opening in Australia, Fastway Couriers became the country's largest parcel carrier, leaving its better known global competitors in the shade.
Since February 2004 the Fastway success story has been building in the UK and with over 300 franchisees, Fastway Couriers is already one of the UK's top 10 franchise organisations and the Australian success story is being emulated here in the UK.

You can now own a piece of the success that is Fastway Couriers by purchasing one of our UK Courier Franchises.

As a Courier Franchisee you will own an exclusive area where you will collect parcels from and deliver to your own customers. You will receive full and ongoing training, the support of your Regional Franchisee and staff including professional Sales Reps who will be working with you to help grow and develop your business. Full access to the Fastway network will enable you to send and receive parcels across the country. To help get you started we can even provide you with a minimum weekly income guarantee to help get you started.

Being the exclusive owner of your business territory you also have the right to sub divide your area as business grows and you are unable to cope with the volume of parcels. Your Regional Franchisee will help with this process and you will receive a financial capital gain when the area is sold. This will enable you to concentrate on a smaller area where you will be able to provide an even better level of service, as you have a smaller geographical area to drive around.

Both new and established Courier Franchise territories are available throughout the country. New Courier Franchise territories are available at £13,500 and come with a 21 week period minimum income guarantee of £600 a week.

The courier franchise:

Caroline Cruz and Peter Home purchased their Courier Franchise territory from Beds Bucks & Herts Regional Franchisee Harj Thind in January 2006 and split in February 2007 for a price of £22,000. In October 2007 they split their territory again for £16,000.

"We heard an ad on the radio and thought Fastway was a good opportunity to be our own bosses. The first split happened a lot earlier than we had expected. The purchaser heard our advertising and saw the van. He contacted our Regional Franchisee (RF), Harj Thind, who helped us with the process of the sale. Having a smaller area gave us much more time to market our services and work with our Sales Rep. We began planning our second split almost immediately after the first. The second split occurred 7 months later selling for £16,000 in October 2007. Our advice to other CF's is simple, we make sure we follow the Fastway system and work closely with our RF and Sales Rep, do the same."
