Description
At Fastway, our approach to courier services is unique. Our Courier Franchisees offer a cost effective, reliable, timetable courier service, backed up by the latest computer technology and online parcel track and trace facilities, making Fastway Couriers the ideal choice for small to medium sized businesses.
Our people and franchise partners are our greatest point of difference; in fact they are the foundation of our business. With more than 700 franchisees and hundreds of support staff across Australia, we have a talented bunch of people that strive to take our award winning business from strength to strength.
In 1993 it was decided to export the business concept to Australia, following a year of research which showed that the same niche market the company had ridden to success in New Zealand, also existed across the Tasman.
After commencing operations in Australia in 1993, Fastway enjoyed phenomenal growth and was announced as the country’s fastest growing private company in 1998 by BRW Magazine with growth of 14,557% for the previous five years. The success of Fastway in Australia was immediate, and the upwards growth trend continues to this day.
Fastway later embarked on an expansion program, offering a National Master Franchise to suitable candidates, to operate the Fastway business for an entire country.
In 2011, the Fastway Couriers brand underwent a major revitalisation; an exciting change to the way we look and a renewed focus on our valued customers. Underpinning that is our key value system of delighting the customer at every point in the parcel’s journey.
Our new look is designed to reflect our growth, progression and of course, our overwhelming ambition to be one of the leading courier companies in operation today.
Today, we’re proud to be able to offer a low cost, quality courier service to customers, large and small across Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Northern Ireland and South Africa.
