Invest in a Simple, Powerful and Proven Business Model

InXpress was founded in Manchester in the United Kingdom in 1999 and was initially run from founder John Thompson’s bedroom. We are a 450-franchise strong technology company specialising in logistics, spanning into 14 countries, with over 31,000 customers. By working with potential franchise owners like you, we continue to grow and dominate our space in global logistics.

InXpress franchise ownership has two primary goals: to provide SMME-businesses with a discounted shipping solution and providing franchise owners the opportunity to achieve financial freedom and maintain a sustainable work-life balance-Tersia Visagie, South Africa Country Manager

An InXpress franchise allows you to contribute positively to SMME businesses by having the ability to provide discounted rates while using world-class carriers. Franchising with InXpress isn’t just about making a living and owning a business. It’s about growing and developing a personal brand and building a lifestyle.

The Ideal Candidate

Having no experience in logistics, shipping, sales or marketing wouldn’t mean that you aren’t an ideal candidate to become an InXpress franchisee. Our internationally developed training programme will teach you everything you need to know—an easy-to-follow model.

Our franchisees share several personality traits enabling them to excel in our market. These include being driven, energetic individuals who are highly persuasive and can strike up a conversation with anyone.

A Resilient Model

InXpress has developed and evolved over 24 years to suit the changing face of business. It is an IT-enabled business, meaning franchisees experience the joy of working from home, in an office space or, if needed, on the beaches of Mauritius. All you need is a phone and a laptop with internet access.

The InXpress model has proven sustainable during economic difficulties, pandemics and natural disasters. The most recent example is the COVID-19 pandemic. The logistics industry helped to keep the economy going during the pandemic, and our franchisees have continued to operate as usual throughout this, supporting existing customers and attracting new businesses who have adjusted their business model by selling online or directly to consumers for the first time.

If you don’t take a chance, nothing is going to change. InXpress is such a natural fit for taking control of your life path and building your own business, creating your future, lifestyle and freedom. This is so important for me and my family and together with InXpress, we have the way and means to achieve this.- Fabio Maestrami, InXpress Franchise Owner in South Africa

Unique Training and Support

The difference between InXpress and many other franchise companies is that our Executive Team intimately understands what it takes to run an InXpress franchise — because most have been franchise owners. We know what works — and what doesn’t — first-hand.

The InXpress training and franchise support programmes were developed based on their own experiences as franchisees. The InXpress training will include courses on our InXpress University and training with our carrier partners, our award-winning system for front and back-end users. Most importantly, our InXpress sales model and how to Find, Activate and Retain customers – the InXpress Way

You’re in business for yourself, not by yourself.- Adam Thompson, CEO EMEA

InXpress shortlisted for the bfa’s Franchisor of the Year award

September 27, 2021

Being a finalist for any bfa award, is a proud achievement for any franchise. So, for InXpress to be hand-selected again, for the third year in a row as a potential Franchisor of the Year, is a powerful demonstration of their dedication and commitment to both franchising in general, and to our franchisees, specifically.

“The bfa awards are the highlight of our year,” explains Jon White, InXpress UK Country Manager. “We consider it a source of encouragement each time we are shortlisted, because it shows the bfa judges have seen for themselves how hard our franchisees have worked throughout the year. Even more so, after the challenges we’ve faced as a global franchise operating within the shipping industry, over the last 18 months. Our success is their success.”

Not only did InXpress franchisees have to navigate through the pandemic, but the global network of 430 franchisees, were also impacted by the changes resulting from Brexit. “We worked hard to ensure our franchisees were ready for Brexit, and I believe this is what helped us to prepare for the sudden changes caused by Covid-19,” Jon continues. “In fact, our franchisees often went above and beyond the call of duty – for their customers, and for each other. So, being shortlisted for the bfa Franchisor of the Year is something each of our 106 UK franchisees can feel proud to have contributed towards.”

And this is evident in the fact one of the franchisee finalists is also part InXpress, in the Resilient Riser category! Neil Campbell, owner of InXpress Belfast has taken his place in the shortlist of franchisee who demonstrated ‘unwavering resilience, strength and support of his staff, customers and other franchisees, throughout the pandemic’.

Pip Wilkins, CEO of the bfa, was quoted as saying, “For another year, the awards reflect the strength of franchising and I wish all those shortlisted the best of luck. Just to get to this stage is a huge achievement and something to be truly proud of.”

Whilst HSBC’s UK Head of Franchising, Andrew Brattesani, agrees, “We have been delighted to see many new faces entering and being shortlisted for this year’s awards; welcoming smaller, emerging franchise brands who emphasise on achieving a positive work-life balance, to huge multi-unit franchise empires.”

On November 30^th we’ll be keeping everything crossed until we find out if we’ve won the coveted title of bfa Franchisor of the Year; or Neil has beaten the competition for Resilient Riser, until then – well done to all this year’s finalists!
