Australian franchise seeks entrepreneurs for Southern Ireland expansion

Founded in Australia in 1993 Pack & Send is a retail franchise that provides packaging and freight forwarding services. The company has already franchised its concept across Australia, New Zealand and the UK. Pack & Send is looking to build on its franchise network and is seeking an entrepreneur to own and operate the Ireland Master Franchise.

Pack & Send franchise owners operate from stores that are positioned in high street locations. Customers are able to use Pack & Send stores to send anything to anywhere in the world through its convenient, personalised and value-added service. Fundamental to its one-stop-shop service is a professional custom packaging service, with expertise in handling fragile, large awkward and valuable items.

Customers using a Pack & Send store also have the benefit of access to Pack & Send services in other regions and countries and with an increasing number of people living, studying and travelling abroad, not to mention a growing number of businesses that frequently deal with overseas companies, the need for an efficient service to send goods abroad is ever increasing.

As part of a Pack & Send franchise package, the owner of the Ireland Master Franchise will have access to:

• GlobalMaster - a proprietary point-of-sale software system
• Packnet - dynamic intranet site that is a critical support tool for franchise owners
• Website - initial establishment of the country website
• Marketing Resources - a comprehensive range of tools and resources to assist franchise owners in maximising the effectiveness of their marketing system and work procedures
• Training - comprehensive initial and ongoing training programmes

Pack & Send is looking for an entrepreneur who can demonstrate a financial and commercial ability to develop a network of Pack & Send stores throughout Ireland. The ideal candidate is someone who is highly motivated, intent on developing a substantial business and achieving significant levels of performance. Additionally, candidates will need to have an attitude and approach consistent with Pack & Send's vision, mission and brand values.

Pack & Send is an award winning business system, being recognised by PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Franchisee Council of Australia as the 2007 Franchisor of the Year
