Speedy Freight - Sheffield & Wakefield
Business Overview
Speedy Freight Sheffield & Wakefield is a fantastic, thriving and consistently high-performing franchise territory within the renowned Speedy Freight network. Established in 2012, it specialises in time-critical, high-value and sensitive freight solutions, backed by the brand’s outstanding UK-wide reputation, rapid 1-hour collection capability and top-rated Trustpilot status. With a strong trading history and loyal customer base, this territory offers an excellent platform for further growth. The business has become available only because the previous franchisee has had to step away due to ill health, and the territory has been returned to Head Office rather than for any performance-related reason. It is currently being serviced through the wider Speedy Freight network, with no staff transferring to a buyer, giving an incoming owner the freedom to rebuild the local operation, recruit at least two key team members and shape the structure and culture from day one. For a driven, commercially minded owner, there is real scope to capitalise on the brand’s national marketing, significantly ramp up local sales activity and unlock the full potential of this already successful territory. This is a rare opportunity to take over a proven, well-regarded franchise area with the full backing and support of an experienced franchisor.
