We’re excited to have you on board!
Our competitive advantage has fueled expansion from one office in 1999 to nationwide coverage. Formerly Pony Express, we rebranded to reflect our same-day expertise. Based strategically in the UK and London, our network is growing, and we welcome you to join us. This licensing approach allows us to expand our reach and offer services to a wider customer base.
We are expanding operations nationally, offering customers premier same-day delivery services handled entirely in-house, from collection to delivery.
Start your own demanding, yet potentially rewarding, courier business with Pony Sameday. With head office support, you'll be running quickly in your exclusive territory. Ideal for budding entrepreneurs seeking a future in a lucrative industry and wanting to be part of our future plans.
Established in the 90s, Pony Sameday has enjoyed rapid growth by consistently exceeding targets. As a leading UK courier, we offer cost-effective delivery without compromising on service or reliability.
Our success is built on a highly qualified management team with years of industry experience and a rigorous recruitment plan ensuring our drivers, the key link to our customers, are the best available.
This strong foundation enabled our expansion programme, including licensing areas across the UK. In 2004, our commitment to excellence was recognised with ISO 9001 accreditation. Currently operating centrally from the West Midlands, we leverage the strong brand recognition built from our London and Birmingham bases.
This is an ideal investment for established courier companies or individuals wanting to enter or expand in the industry. Leverage our strong brand awareness and join a UK-wide network while building a stronghold in your local area.
Enhance your current business by offering services under our established brand and receiving more jobs through the Pony Sameday network. This is a great way to increase sales and maximise your existing overheads.
You are free to continue trading under your current business name alongside the Pony Sameday brand.
We recommend charging industry standard rates (guide only, you set your final price):
| Vehicle | Rate (from) | Type | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Motorcycle | from 1.30 pplm | Min Charge | £55.00 |
| Small Van | from 1.10 pplm | Min Charge | £45.00 |
| Transit Van | from 1.50 pplm | Min Charge | £65.00 |
| LWB Van | from 1.65 pplm | Min Charge | £75.00 |
*pplm = pence per loaded mile
You will market and manage your Pony Sameday business in your selected area, operating freely while upholding the brand's reputation.
Our long-term plan includes expanding into the express overnight parcel sector. Once the same-day network is robust, we will build an overnight network involving all members, generating more revenue for your business via an in-house hub-and-spoke operation. As the network grows, so will the brand and your business.
Your turnover depends on your advertising and promotion efforts. Major cities typically generate more revenue. A realistic year-two turnover target is £100,000 - £150,000, aiming for 20-30% year-on-year growth. Your success depends on the work you put in.
We advertise nationally for quality drivers, forwarding enquiries to you. However, we recommend recruiting local drivers through free platforms like Gumtree, Vivastreet, or Job Centres.
