Speedy Freight keeps its eyes on the prize

Speedy Freight is counting down the days to one of the most important events of the franchising calendar to see if it will be crowned a winner.

Speedy Freight is eagerly awaiting this year’s bfa HSBC Franchise Awards, as only at the event will it find out if it’s done enough to secure one of the most coveted titles in the franchising world.

Courier & delivery franchise Speedy Freight has made the shortlist for the 2019 Franchisor of the Year Award. It will face off against other highly successful franchises for the prestigious title, which is the most sought-after award of the entire evening. Speedy Freight also has its fingers crossed for one of its franchisees, Steve Morris, as he has also been shortlisted for one of the awards.

Morris, a franchisee who owns multiple units, is up for the Multi-unit accolade, which celebrates individuals who have done a stellar job managing more than one franchised location. Commenting on his fantastic achievement, Morris said:

“I am thrilled to have been shortlisted for multi-unit franchisee. My Speedy Freight journey started in 2015 and has grown and developed significantly. I am passionate about the business vision and alongside my dedicated team, through first-class customer service, have been able to expand my operation across multiple territories with backing from the support centre.”

Managing Director, Mike Smith, expressed the franchise’s excitement and said the team cannot wait to attend the awards, which will be held at The Vox, Birmingham on the 27th of June.

“We are very much looking forward to the awards. It’s fantastic for us to know our approach to franchising has been recognised by the association. We like to do things properly and we’re proud of that. We always put the franchisee and customers at the forefront of the company’s vision, and operate a model that is hugely successful.”

Pip Wilkins, CEO of the bfa, congratulated the franchise on making the shortlist.

“For Speedy Freight to get one nomination in the franchisor categories, and one in the franchisee arena is proof positive that the company is excelling in the industry. I wish them the best of luck on the evening.”
