National same day courier firm Speedy Freight, has expanded further into the U.S. market
Speedy Freight has established a new office and a 50,000-square-foot warehouse in Irving, Texas, representing an investment of approximately $1.5 million.
Strategically positioned near Dallas Fort-Worth Airport, a prominent U.S. logistics gateway, this move signals Speedy Freight’s dedication to becoming a household name in logistics brokerage and the franchisor of choice in the logistics sector.
With its rapid U.S. expansion plan, the new Dallas site will serve as Speedy Freight’s U.S. Headquarters and Training Academy, offering state-of-the-art training aligned with international standards of quality and security—ISO 9001, 14001, and 27001 certifications. The academy supports continuous improvement and provides the tools for franchisees and team members to deliver personalised logistics solutions.
The U.S. expansion reflects Speedy Freight’s bold vision for growth in the competitive logistics market, particularly in Full Truck Load (FTL), Less Than Truckload (LTL), Drayage, and Expedited services. These offerings are underpinned by user-friendly, in-house technology designed to empower small and medium-sized businesses.
Furthermore, the company offers tech-enabled parcels and fulfilment services, tailored with bespoke systems to address the unique demands of each sector. With a commitment to a people-first culture and best-in-class systems, Speedy Freight’s solutions are crafted for reliability and simplicity to meet the diverse needs of each client.
Speedy Freight operates over 60 branches in the UK and recently entered the EU via Spain. The firm is set to launch eight franchises in the U.S. by the end of 2025, reinforcing their ambitious goal to grow to 60 franchises by 2030. With these plans, Speedy Freight aims to offer a solid support network for UK and EU businesses looking to enter the U.S. market, using them as a springboard, making the new Dallas Headquarters a strategic entry point.
“We’re all in on our mission to expand aggressively across the U.S., and the Dallas Headquarters and Training Academy marks a significant milestone,” says Kody Slade, President of Operations for Speedy Freight. “Our central Dallas location not only supports our franchise network but enables us to develop specialized logistics solutions that make a real difference for clients across industries.”
Mike Smith, CEO of Speedy Freight, comments, “Our achievements in the U.S. over the past six months are a testament to our team’s dedication and vision. We have an ambitious plan for growth, with the support and systems needed to enable franchise success. Our focus is to become the leading logistics franchisor, setting the highest standards and building a strong brand known across the logistics sector.”
Speedy Freight’s vision includes becoming a trusted logistics partner within the U.S.’s growing logistics industry, valued at $1.27 trillion in 2023 and projected to reach $1.62 trillion by 2028. With ecommerce and fulfillment services projected to experience rapid growth, their expansion comes at a pivotal time for meeting evolving logistics needs and supporting businesses of all sizes.
Speedy Freight is currently shortlisted for a prestigious British International Freight Association (BIFA) Freight Service award, reflecting their industry leadership and commitment to quality and training. As they scale their U.S. presence, Speedy Freight continues to drive their mission to deliver seamless, efficient, and reliable logistics solutions that help clients succeed.
