Speedy Freight, the UK-based same-day courier and logistics firm, has significantly expanded its footprint in the U.S. market with the establishment of a new headquarters and a 50,000-square-foot warehouse in Irving, Texas. This strategic $1.5 million investment positions the company at the heart of U.S. logistics, near the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, a critical hub for global supply chains.
The Dallas facility will serve as Speedy Freight’s U.S. Headquarters and Training Academy, offering state-of-the-art training programs certified to ISO 9001, 14001, and 27001 standards. This marks a key step in the company’s mission to become a leader in logistics brokerage and franchising, with a focus on providing tailored, high-quality logistics solutions.
Driving Expansion in the U.S. Market
Speedy Freight’s U.S. operations aim to capture market share in key services such as Full Truck Load (FTL), Less Than Truckload (LTL), Drayage, and Expedited solutions. Leveraging proprietary in-house technology, the company is geared to support small and medium-sized businesses with efficient and customizable logistics systems.
In addition to freight services, Speedy Freight offers advanced parcel and fulfillment solutions tailored to meet sector-specific needs. With a strong emphasis on user-friendly technology and a people-first culture, the company is committed to delivering reliable and simple logistics solutions that adapt to the diverse demands of its clients.
Strategic Growth and Future Plans
The Dallas headquarters marks a pivotal moment in Speedy Freight’s ambitious U.S. expansion strategy. The company plans to launch eight franchises across the U.S. by the end of 2025, with the goal of establishing 60 franchises by 2030. This growth will provide a robust support network for UK and EU businesses looking to enter the U.S. market, leveraging the Dallas hub as a gateway.
Kody Slade, President of Operations for Speedy Freight, emphasized the importance of this expansion:
“We’re fully committed to our mission of aggressive growth in the U.S. The Dallas Headquarters and Training Academy is a significant milestone, enabling us to develop specialized logistics solutions that make a tangible difference for our clients.”
Mike Smith, CEO of Speedy Freight, highlighted the company’s achievements and vision:
“Our progress in the U.S. over the past six months demonstrates our team’s dedication and vision. We’re building the systems and support needed to ensure franchise success while establishing ourselves as a leading logistics franchisor.”
Positioned for a Growing Market
The U.S. logistics industry, valued at $1.27 trillion in 2023, is projected to grow to $1.62 trillion by 2028. With e-commerce and fulfillment services expanding rapidly, Speedy Freight’s entry comes at a critical time for businesses seeking reliable logistics partners.
The company’s Dallas headquarters will not only bolster its U.S. operations but also provide a springboard for international businesses entering the American market. Speedy Freight’s ongoing commitment to quality and training is reflected in its recent shortlisting for a British International Freight Association (BIFA) Freight Service award.
As it scales its U.S. presence, Speedy Freight continues to deliver on its promise of seamless, efficient, and customer-focused logistics solutions, setting new benchmarks for the industry.
