A TRANSPORT business has landed a double award nomination.
Bradford-based Speedy Freight has been shortlisted in two national categories, making the finals for Franchisor of the Year (Established) at the 2026 British Franchise Association (BFA) Awards and The Customer Service Award at the 2026 Supply Chain Excellence Awards.
Both nominations highlight the company’s ongoing investment in its franchise excellence, supply chain innovation, and customer service.
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.
“This is something that we’re incredibly proud of, and that has also now been recognised by the Supply Chain Excellence Awards.
“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.
“We’re looking forward to celebrating alongside the very best in UK franchising and supply chain excellence later this year.”
The BFA Awards honour franchisors who demonstrate strong leadership, ethical business practice, and sustained support for franchisee growth, while the Supply Chain Excellence Awards celebrate outstanding supply chain management.
Last year, Speedy Freight won the Bronze Award in the same BFA category, and this year’s repeat nomination reflects its continued growth and strategic investment in its franchise model.
The company credits the shortlisting to significant progress over the past year, including enhanced investment in technology, staff development, and operational support.
