Freight firm top for franchises

STAFF at a Dumfries courier and logistics company are celebrating after it was recognised as one of the country’s top franchisors.

Speedy Freight has been secured a place in the HSBC Elite Franchise Top 100 (EF100) for 2026.

Ranked at number 31, it is the fourth consecutive year that the company has featured in the EF100.

Furthermore, Speedy Freight has always been rated within the top 50 on the national list, a testament to their franchise model and fresh approach to franchising.

Network director Michael Wilson said: “We’re proud to be recognised in the EF100 for the fourth year running. Securing position 31 reflects the hard work of our franchisees and our support teams. Having also recently received the Franchisor of the Year Bronze award from the 2025 BFA HSBC UK British Franchise Awards, we are incredibly proud of our franchise model.”
