Courier off to a flying start in Cavan franchise

Brendan O"Callaghan saw what was coming... the slowdown in the construction sector. Having worked as a painter and decorator for many years, Brendan, felt the need for more security and control over his income. Now he has secured the Fastway Courier franchise for the Cootehill, Bailieboro and Virginia areas. 'I could see that things were changing and if I wanted to have a secure income, I needed to look elsewhere,' he says. Brendan has always liked being his own boss so he starting looking into buying a franchise. He had been looking at Fastway Couriers for a few months and in November 2008, decided to go for it. 'I liked the stability that Fastway Couriers provides. I"ve always worked odd hours with little idea of where my next job would come from. With Fastway Couriers, I have the support of a regional franchisee who helps me to build my business.' Since his first day as a Fastway Courier Franchisee just over three months ago, Brendan has increased the number of customers he regularly picks-up parcels from, by over 20% and is looking forward to offering his service to other businesses in the area. 'The system of pre-paid labels and satchels really helps people keep control of their delivery costs, which have never been more important. Parcels can be sent throughout the 32 counties for as little as €3.30. As I always say, high service levels for a very competitive price!' Brendan says he"s committed to offering local businesses a service second to none. His experience of working with his own customers means he knows how important it is to provide a personal service and to get to know the needs of his customers. Brendan has a history of growing and going fast. He is a successful greyhound breeder and racer. His greyhound 'Coloured Speck' has won eleven top races in Dundalk over the last year.
