No. 16 of the UK's Top 100
Speedy Freight is a B2B logistics and same-day courier franchise offering dedicated vehicle solutions and tailored freight services across the UK and internationally. The model targets commercial clients who need reliable, time-critical delivery. This is a resilient and growing segment of the logistics market. Franchisees run a management business rather than driving vehicles themselves.
Who Should Apply
Strong candidates typically come from hospitality, military, or management backgrounds — commercial acumen and a solid career history matter more than logistics experience. Full training is provided, so prior knowledge of freight is not required. The franchisor looks for individuals who can build business relationships, manage subcontractors, and operate with professionalism under pressure.
