Fastway Couriers’ Melbourne regional franchise is, as of today, under new ownership, with long time transport and logistics executive, John Young, taking the reins.

Located in Port Melbourne, the Melbourne franchise is a key hub in the Australian Fastway Couriers network. The depot is home to more than 100 Fastway Couriers franchisees, who together service the entire greater metropolitan region, offering next day services to Adelaide, Hobart, Launceston, Bendigo, Shepparton, Wagga Wagga, Albury, Wollongong, Sydney, Central Coast and Newcastle.

Fastway CEO Richard Thame says Young brings with him almost 20 years of experience in supply chain management across several large logistics firms.

“John’s demonstrable record of successfully growing significant-sized businesses makes him an asset to the Fastway brand.

“On behalf of the Fastway franchise system, I’d like to welcome John to Fastway. I look forward to working with him to ensure Melbourne’s on-going success,” Thame said.
