Speedy Freight Boosting the Midlands Economy

Delivery franchise Speedy Freight is bringing new jobs to Leicester and Derby.

It was announced this month that 40 new jobs are set to be created by the courier service. This news follows the arrival of Gary Sawyer as the new manager of Speedy Freight’s Leicester and Derby franchises.

Of these jobs, 30 of them are driver vacancies and another nine of them are office based. The variety of jobs on offer means that the benefits of Speedy Freight’s expansion plan are going to be enjoyed across the local economy.

Speedy Freight’s client list includes many of Britain’s major retail names. Sainsbury’s and Argos are just two of the brands that Speedy Freight works with on a daily basis to keep their operations running smoothly.

Gary explained the strict standards that are upheld at Speedy Freight to keep business ticking over: “[Speedy Freight] is a concierge service for your freight – we collect within 60 minutes and we will take your item immediately to its destination anywhere in the UK or Ireland. We don’t take on other freight – that vehicle focuses on delivering your item and only yours as safely and as quickly as possible.”

Speedy freight specialises in finding quick and effective solutions to distribution headaches. The courier and delivery franchise’s fleet of small vans cater for 80 percent of its business, while larger commercial vehicles can also be called in to carry out larger deliveries.

Speedy Freight franchisees just like Gary often enjoy £100,000 of gross profit per year. Speedy Freight gives all of its franchise partners the necessary training needed to deliver incredible business results.

The minimum investment required to start up a Speedy Freight delivery franchise begins at £38,500. If you’re interested in being the company’s latest franchisee, you can find out more information here on Point Franchise.
