Expo inquiries up for Fastway Couriers

Sarah Stowe

Franchise business Fastway Couriers attended the recent Sydney Franchising and Business Opportunities Expo and ended up with more than 150 franchise leads as a direct result, an increase of more than 30 percent on last year’s expo.

“The Franchising Expo offers a fantastic opportunity for Fastway. Not only is it a great way to get our brand into the marketplace, but it also puts us in direct contact with numerous potential franchisees in a relaxed atmosphere — a great way to have an informal chat about some of the great opportunities we have available,” said Chris Byrne, Fastway Courier’s SydneyÕs franchise development manager.

Potential franchisees visiting the courier business’ stand had the opportunity to talk openly with the people who would work with them on a daily basis.

“Our franchise business managers have a core objective to provide ongoing support and guidance in meeting each courier franchiseeÕs business goals, making them the ideal people to discuss the opportunity”, Byrne said.

“If the expo results are anything to go by, franchising is certainly alive and well and shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. There are a lot of motivated people looking to take control of their futures by investing in a small business; the backbone of AustraliaÕs economy Éand Fastway is more than happy to be a part of that.”
