Overview
- Speedy Freight, which was named a finalist on Sunday, Aug 2, 2026, has been shortlisted for Franchisor of the Year (Established) at the British Franchise Association Awards and for The Customer Service Award at the Supply Chain Excellence Awards.
- The company says the double nomination reflects a year of targeted investment in technology, staff development and central operations support across its network of locally owned franchises.
- Michael Wilson, the group franchise director, called the shortlisting a validation of the franchise network’s work and said the firm hopes to build on last year’s Bronze BFA placing.
- Winners will be announced at the Supply Chain Excellence Awards in London on November 5 and at the British Franchise Awards in Telford on November 12, events that could boost Speedy Freight’s reputation and franchise recruitment if it wins.
- The two awards respectively recognise leadership and ethical franchising practice and excellence in supply-chain management, meaning the nominations may open new commercial opportunities for regional franchise operators such as Speedy Freight’s Colchester and Bradford outlets.
