With over 40 successful Franchisees and a powerful national brand, we provide comprehensive, reliable, and cost-effective logistics solutions for business clients in sectors such as retail, eCommerce, construction, and manufacturing. 

We handle everything from urgent and fragile items to abnormal and high-value loads using a fleet that ranges from small vans to articulated lorries. Whether it’s a delicate delivery or a time-sensitive shipment, we offer flexible solutions tailored to customer needs. 

Franchising since 2010, Speedy Freight has built a proven and scalable, asset light model backed by robust systems, national marketing, and full operational support. With us, you can build a profitable logistics business without the need to drive or own vehicles; your focus is on leadership, customer service, and growth. 

Training 

Speedy Freight offers an in-depth 4–6 week training programme designed to equip you with everything you need to run your franchise confidently from day one. You’ll receive: 

  • Live and classroom-based training on our systems, processes, and transport management software 
  • Hands-on support during launch, including operational setup and territory development 
  • Best practice training across logistics, customer service, and business operations 
  • Ongoing support from our dedicated Franchise Support Managers, who are always on hand for guidance

We’ve built a system that removes the guesswork; all you need to bring is drive and ambition. 

A Day in the Life of a Speedy Freight Franchisee 

As a Speedy Freight Franchisee, you will lead and manage a logistics operation within your own exclusive territory. This is a management franchise, so your role is focused on growing the business, not driving vans. 

Your responsibilities include: 

  • Canvassing and networking with local businesses to introduce Speedy Freight’s services 
  • Building and maintaining customer relationships, ensuring repeat business and satisfaction 
  • Booking and managing courier jobs, from initial enquiry to final delivery 
  • Coordinating drivers, scheduling jobs, and ensuring timely and professional service 
  • Overseeing daily operations, while leveraging national marketing and back-office support to stay focused on growth 

Logistics experience is not required. This opportunity is ideal for driven individuals who want to run a professional B2B service, build a team, and create a rewarding business. 

Join an Award-Winning Franchise Network 

“We believe our franchise opportunity stands out for three key reasons: our asset-light model allows franchisees to maximise earnings compared to other models of a similar size; we serve a niche market of clients seeking complex transport solutions delivered with exceptional customer service; and the breadth of our network empowers our Franchisees to compete with much larger corporate transport providers.” – Michael Wilson, Speedy Freight Network Director

Testimonials

“I investigated several different franchises before I settled with Speedy Freight as I felt the company was the right “fit” for me. As a Franchisee, I work for myself and create jobs and opportunities for others. I wish I’d tried this earlier in my career!”Damian Pacitti (Glasgow)

“When I saw an opportunity to own a management Franchise with Speedy Freight, I decided to go for it. It was an enormous step for me to take, but being my own boss, with support as and when I required it, was the perfect mix for me and I wouldn’t change a thing.”Simon Chorlton (Doncaster, Hull, York, Leeds & Harrogate)

“I don’t have any logistics experience and found out about the opportunity from a current Franchisee. I was attracted to the opportunity because of the potential to make money in a fast-paced environment. The whole onboarding process has been very professional and thorough.”Noel Goreham (Brighton)
