The Market
The logistics sector is vital to the UK economy with annual revenues of over £70bn. With global travel on the rise, there is increased demand for convenient consumer freight solutions. Businesses rely on the freight industry to facilitate trade and small businesses, the lifeblood of the UK's economy, rely on the freight industry to support their growth and prosperity.
Today's logistics industry has dramatically changed with the growth of online trading sites such as eBay. As hundreds of millions of goods are bought and sold on these sites each year, these goods also need to be packaged and shipped.

We have been in the Pack & Send business just over five years now. Our business is regularly turning over $100,000 per month between our two franchise stores. To say we are happy with Pack & Send is an understatement. We love the business and are very proud of our efforts in following this great business system which has resulted in financial rewards beyond our expectations. - Peter and Julee Hartmann, PACK & SEND Milton and PACK & SEND Springhill (QLD)
I used to be the recruitment manager that selected franchisees for Pack & Send. In the process of finding franchisees for Pack & Send I learned a lot about the business, so much in fact that I learned that Pack & Send was a great opportunity for me. I gave up my job in recruiting franchisees and became a Pack & Send franchisee myself. I now own the Melbourne City (Dryburgh Street) franchise and have never looked back! - Shane Cole, Melbourne
We have really enjoyed building a strong business in our local community. We like solving our customer’s freight and packing problems and this has lead to us building a strong reputation as the ‘go to business’ in our area for all kinds of things. We still have an award that we printed and put up in the store that congratulates us for achieving sales of $20,000 in a month. These days it makes us laugh when we look at that award and reflect at where our sales are at now! - Russell and Melinda Forbes, Wollongong
