UK-based 3PL Speedy Freight has announced a significant milestone in their global expansion strategy with the inauguration of their first office in the United States. This move marks a continuation of their rapid growth, with the new office located in Dallas, Texas, a city chosen for its strategic central position, robust commercial activity, and logistical advantages.

Speedy Freight’s Dallas branch is set to offer a comprehensive suite of 3PL services, including full truckloads, less-than-truckloads, drayage, expedited shipping, and cross-border operations. Whether it’s a start-up seeking efficient supply chain solutions or a multinational corporation aiming to streamline operations, Speedy Freight’s dedicated team is prepared to meet diverse freight and fulfillment needs with their state-of-the-art, in-house developed technology.

The company prides itself on its ability to deliver finely tuned logistics plans, crucial for industries ranging from fast-moving consumer goods and high-volume trade shows to time-sensitive healthcare commodities. Quality assurance and reliability are key tenets of Speedy Freight’s service, ensuring that each client’s specific needs are met with precision.

This expansion into the US follows Speedy Freight’s recent growth in the EU, with new locations in Dublin and Spain. Their universal transportation and warehousing management system offers clients full visibility of quotes, active jobs, and invoices through an online portal, enhancing customer service with transparent, real-time updates.

Leading the US sales division is Starr Bollefer, Vice President of Sales, who joined the team in March 2024. Bollefer expressed enthusiasm for Speedy Freight’s American journey, emphasizing their commitment to exceptional service and value for US customers.

John Munnelly, Chief Operating Officer at Speedy Freight, remarked, “Expansion to the USA has always been a goal for the business, and thanks to our outstanding year-on-year growth, we feel now is the perfect time to open our first North American branch. The high level of commercial activity in and around Dallas-Fort Worth makes it the perfect location for Speedy Freight, and we’re confident our team will hit the ground running with their personalized logistics service offerings.”

Echoing this sentiment, CEO Mike Smith highlighted the significance of this milestone, stating, “This is a massive milestone for Speedy Freight, and we see a huge opportunity in North America for future expansion. Our franchising model is perfectly suited to the US business landscape, and we’re confident that this is just the first of many USA offices.”

Founded in 2006, Speedy Freight has grown from a single regional office to over 60 branches across the UK and Europe, now covering every postcode in the UK. With nearly 10,000 customers and major contracts across multiple industries, Speedy Freight continues to set the bar high in the logistics sector.
