Fastway Couriers on the lookout for new franchisees at Perth expo

“At Fastway Couriers, our team provides reliable, cost effective courier services right across Australia. Backed by the latest technology and great training, our courier franchisees enjoy exclusive territories, no weekend work and guaranteed income packages. Our simple, easy-to-operate system doesn’t require any previous experience, just a friendly approach and a desire to delight customers,” says marketing coordinator, Kacey Deane.

WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO GET OUT OF THE EXPO?

Attracting the best quality people to the organisation is the key to Fastway’s success and that’s exactly the outcome the company hopes to achieve at the expo, Deane explains. “The expo provides us with the ideal environment to have an informal chat with prospective franchisees; the best way to find out if we’re the right fit for each other as business partners.”

WHERE IS THE BUSINESS AT TODAY?

Fastway is represented by over 1,600 franchisees across nine countries including New Zealand, Australia, the UK, Ireland, Germany and South Africa. In Australia, the franchise has 700 courier franchisees.

WHAT COSTS ARE INVOLVED FOR NEW FRANCHISEES?

“The great thing about a Fastway Courier franchise is the fact that there are no ongoing fees, royalties or marketing levies. Our exclusive territories start from an investment of just $25,000. Our franchise agreements are perpetual, which offers our franchisees the benefit of no costly renewal fees and the opportunity to grow, split and on-sell their business for a capital gain,” says Deane.

WHAT ARE THE PLANS FOR 2011?

Fastway Couriers is set to expand its business by deepening its digital offering to service the online retail sector.
