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

Our Franchise, Our Women, Our Future

September 27, 2021

When you invest in a franchise – especially as a woman – you want to be sure you’re making the right decision for you and your future. When a vision is born, a huge amount of work goes into making it a reality. So, how do you know a brand like InXpress will have your back?

Because, here at InXpress, we believe behind every successful woman is a tribe of successful women who have her back. Which is why we have just enjoyed our very first InXpress International Women’s Conference. As a global brand, operating in 14 countries, our network is filled with successful female leaders, thriving in their businesses, or their role.

To be able to take a day to network with other InXpress women from around the world – whether at Head Office, a franchise owner, or working in one of our 430 franchised businesses, was invaluable. And over 170 women from across the network agreed; signing-up for the opportunity to self-reflect in a safe space, and feel empowered by solid advice from women who are also thriving.

Guest speakers included:

Jan Uhrich - a Fortune 50 company Senior Executive who serves on the Global InXpress Board;
Lucille McCart - the APAC Communications Director at Bumble, the dating and networking app;
Anna Hemmings MBE - Olympian and world champion;
And our keynote speaker from the Katie Piper Foundation, Lin Woolmington - who’d survived two episodes of severe clinical depression which led to life-changing consequences.

Here’s a brief taste, of what each speaker had to say
· Jan Uhrich Developing your leadership style
As women in a male-dominated arena, it’s important you have a strong female network around you. Then, play to your strengths, and hire to your weaknesses! Knowing your team’s strengths and weaknesses enables you to build a high performing team.

· Lucille McCart Level your playing field
Women tend to hold back more. We want to be sure of the outcome, before we make a move. So, by creating a culture of empowerment, we enable women to make the first move, and encourage them to share their dreams and future aspirations.

· Anna Hemmings MBE The resilient leader’s toolkit
Resilience comes from greater self-awareness. Pause to explore how you’re framing a situation. Then reframe it, if necessary. Rather than seeing challenge as overwhelming, break it down so you can see the light of opportunity. Don’t allow fear, anxiety, or the problem itself trip you up.

· Lin Woolmington Triumph over tragedy
I have the strength to face the past with honesty. I have the wisdom to live in the present with appreciation. I have the courage to face the future no matter what. How lucky am I, I have my own philosophy!
The afternoon (for the UK, though some attendees were watching in the middle of the night!) also included a chance to applaud some of the women in the global network, at our first ever, InXpress GREAT Awards. The silver and gold winners, were nominated by their peers within the network, which led to an unexpected need to create an additional category, based on the number of nominations our final winner had received.

The InXpress women’s conference was a clear demonstration of how the empowered woman is powerful beyond measure. This goes for every single women working and doing her thing right across the InXpress global network: we wouldn’t be where we are today without you, so we applaud all of you!
