West Coast Locals on the Fast Track to Success

West Coast Locals on the Fast Track to Success

The Fastway Couriers West Coast franchise is now owned by local husband and wife team, Bob and Sandra Ilton. After previously working as a contractor for Coca Cola, Bob Ilton and his wife decided that it was time for a change, and to become their own boss. After looking into a few business opportunities in the West Coast region, they came across Fastway Couriers, “I liked the idea of working for myself with a large company. The support that is given across all levels of business by the Fastway Franchise Support Office is amazing” Bob says. With Bob and Sandra, plus their team of office staff and courier’s knowledge of the local area, and people they are sure to succeed. “We look forward to growing the business, and meeting our customer’s needs.”

Fastway Couriers is proud to be known as the world’s first (and now largest) courier franchise organisation. It started with a simple insight; that a small regional New Zealand town could benefit from a parcel pickup and delivery service to local businesses. 27 years later, the business is established in 9 countries, has over 1600 franchisees worldwide and is the deserved winner of over 45 franchise and industry awards in New Zealand alone.
