Why the time is right to invest in a Post & Packing franchise

Hugh Furness explains why Post & Packing could be a good fit for your franchise investment portfolio

A huge 3.6 billion parcels were sent in the UK between 2022-2023, according to Statista. One franchise brand catering to both retail and commercial demand in this space is Post & Packing.

The independent postal service positions itself as a walk-in mailroom which aims to dispatch and deliver goods and communications on time and intact. As a result, reliability, trustworthiness, and professionalism are key characteristics the brand has aimed to embed within its service.

Here, Hugh Furness, sales and marketing director talks through what franchisees can expect if they choose to invest in Post & Packing.

What services can a franchisee offer?

Hugh: Our tailored services have been developed with a range of customers in mind – they’re full solutions which enable customers to fulfil all their postal and courier requirements under one roof.

This includes mail and order fulfilment, e-shop drop, discounted parcel rates, private and business post box rentals with mailing addresses, storage and archiving, stamps, stationery and envelopes, boxes, tape, and packaging materials.

Why is now the right time to invest in Post & Packing?

Increasing online sales have resulted in an ever-growing need to send products worldwide, presenting a fantastic opportunity to get involved with the expansion of Post & Packing’s operations as a franchisee.

We have seen a 50% growth over the past two years from our owned shop site, and we want to continue our success by taking the brand much further.

What type of person would be suited to becoming a franchisee?

If you’re a determined and ambitious individual looking to take that next step in your career, then a Post & Packing postal franchise could be right for you. You can come from any environment, business, or service as we will give you all the training needed. This includes an initial induction and further ongoing support with marketing, sales, and operations.

What’s the average turnover for a franchisee’s first year?

The average turnover is £200,000 but we have some franchisees that make up to £265,000 in the first year.
