Paul Maraia, National Recruitment Manager of Fastway Couriers (Australia), attributes the success of the group to its simplicity and focus on providing a reliable and good value courier service for small and medium-sized businesses.
Why has Fastway Couriers been so successful?
“Well itÕs simple,” according to Maraia. “ItÕs the good value and consistent, friendly service offered by Fastway franchisees that is respected by other hard-working business people and means and that weÕre always at the top of the list when it comes to our customerÕs national freight requirements.”
Not surprisingly, this award winning franchise group has been the recipient of nearly 40 franchise and industry awards, including three ÔOverall Franchise System of the YearÕ awards covering Australia and New Zealand. In addition, Fastway Couriers has been regularly featured in BRW magazine as one of the fastest-growing private companies and is the single largest courier operator in Australia.
Fastway Couriers offers two proven franchise opportunities; a regional franchise or courier franchise. Regional franchisees own an exclusive regional territory, profiting from their adept business skills by leading and motivating courier franchisees, while providing them with administration, IT, sales and marketing support.
A winning formula
“Exclusive territories start from as little as $25,000 and many of these come with a substantial income guarantee so that franchisees earn a decent living from day one. It couldnÕt be simpler,” Maraia said.
Pierre Salame, a Fastway Courier franchisee in SydneyÕs Prestons region, wanted to get out of the corporate rat race in search of a simpler life. ”Going into business for yourself can be a daunting task, but itÕs made all that easier when you have a support team backing you all the way. Plus, itÕs the perfect opportunity to be financially rewarded for all my hard work!,” he said.
Fastway Couriers is a member of the Franchise Council of Australia.
