A courier and logistics business has been named a finalist in two national industry awards.

Romford-based Speedy Freight has been shortlisted for both the franchisor of the year (established) category at the 2026 British Franchise Association (BFA) Awards and the customer service award at the 2026 Supply Chain Excellence Awards.

The BFA Award honours established franchisors who demonstrate leadership, ethical business practices and long-term support for franchisees.

The Supply Chain Excellence Awards recognises organisations that demonstrate excellence in supply chain management.

Michael Wilson, group franchise director at Speedy Freight, said: "We are incredibly proud to be named finalists in these two awards, and excited to see if we can build on last year’s bronze award with the BFA.

"The strength of Speedy Freight has always been the people in our franchise network.

"By supporting ambitious local business owners with the technology, expertise and operational infrastructure of a national organisation, we've created a business that can compete successfully with much larger transport providers while never losing the personal service our customers value.

"The recognition for both awards belongs to our franchise owners, colleagues and support teams whose dedication, professionalism and commitment continue to raise standards across our network every day."

Winners will be announced later this year.
