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

Putting smiles on children’s faces

October 19, 2021

When sending important packages out to orphanages and people in need around the world, you want to know they’ll arrive safely – even if it’s going to a small village in the heart of Zambia. Which is why when one of their customers, Amarjit Pall, wanted to send boxes of children’s books to the KASISI children’s home, he didn’t hesitate in entrusting the precious cargo to InXpress Birmingham South.

As Neil Hatt, owner of InXpress Birmingham South, and his Senior Logistics Consultant, Alex Petrides explain, sending any kind of shipment to a remote village in Zambia, doesn’t come without challenges! “We used to support a black rhino conservation charity; sending clothes to the team working on site,” Alex explains. “So, we were well aware of the difficulties around sending charity boxes to Africa. I wanted to make sure the shipment process went as smoothly as I could make it, which meant dealing with a fair bit of red tape.”

The KASISI children’s home was first established in 1926, and has become one of Zambia’s largest orphanages, with 230 babies and children living in the home, including 60 children with HIV/AIDS. As a visionary school, the Sisters and Housemothers who run it aim to do everything they can to ensure the children are self-supporting once they leave, in adulthood. They achieve this through an educational programme, which is designed to give the children a foundation for employment. All the children donate finances back into the school once they have left, so they can give back, and support their KASISI family.

InXpress Birmingham South were asked to ensure the safe delivery of a charitable shipment. The smiles in the photos they received was worth all the red tape in the world.

So, with multiple boxes of books being collected, Alex started working in the background to prepare the shipment for travel. “One of the first problems we encountered, was the address. KASISI is basically located on a remote plot of land. It was important we didn’t just send it to a PO Box, because there isn’t always a guarantee the books would reach their final destination. I needed to find a way for them to be delivered right where they were needed, and signed-for upon delivery, so the children would definitely receive their gifts. I also wanted to make sure everything was listed properly, to avoid any additional charges being incurred by the orphanage.”

Within the charitable donations, were educational books, pencils, and other stationary items for the children to use in the school part of the home. “I worked closely with Amajit to reduce any potential issues, then set up tracking, and alerted TNT – with whom the charity shipment was being sent – so they were aware it was a charity shipment. From the moment it was collected until the moment it was delivered, I closely monitored its journey. At around 7pm one evening, we received an email with photos of the children with their books. It was a special moment! And a relief to know the items were now in the right hands.”

As parents themselves, Neil and Alex were pleased to play a small role to making a difference in the lives of other children, hundreds of miles away. “To have facilitated this shipment became hugely important for both of us,” Neil says. “Seeing the photos, and the smiles on the kids’ faces, made you realise how valuable this particular shipment was: A picture is worth a thousand miles of red tape.”
