Franchising details
Business Model and Services
Transol Sameday operates as a premises-based logistics franchise, offering both same-day and next-day courier services, as well as UK and European road freight and time-critical European deliveries. The company operates from a central head office in Coventry alongside depots in Leicester, Northampton, Manchester, Glasgow, and Poland, ensuring a broad coverage area. This network supports efficient and rapid collection and delivery times while accommodating complex logistics journeys to meet customer-designated time frames.
Franchise Network and Growth Strategy
The franchise model is management-based, with franchise locations operated from offices rather than vehicles or mobile points. Currently, the network achieves national coverage from the Midlands to Scotland, with franchise sites in Leicester, Northampton, Glasgow, and Paisley. Leicester is part-owned by Transol, while other locations are independently owned. The strategic goal is to establish franchise presence in all UK postcodes, enhancing accessibility and service reach.
Support and Daily Operations for Franchisees
Franchisees engage in a mix of office-based and external business development activities. Their primary role involves cultivating long-term trading relationships with local customers by becoming trusted logistics experts. Administrative responsibilities are minimized to allow franchisees to focus on growth. This client-centric approach is supported by ongoing operational assistance from the franchisor, ensuring franchisees have the necessary tools and support to succeed.
