About Pony Sameday

Pony Sameday has been established since the 90’s and has enjoyed a very rapid and aggressive growth over the years. It has been part of the Pony Sameday' mission statement to exceed year on year, and the company can happily report all targets have been met. Being a leading Courier company in the UK, customers are benefiting from a cost-effective delivery service without compromise. The key objective of the company has become to never compromise on customer service whilst achieving 100% reliability.To achieve the high standards that the customers require, over the years there has been a gradual introduction and the creation of a highly qualified management team. The team is now built of individuals with years of experience in the industry. Not only was it enough for Pony Sameday to maintain a highly experienced management team, Pony Sameday then went through a rigorous recruitment plan to ensure its drivers were also the best available. We had to recognise the drivers as being key members of the company and the link between Pony Sameday and its customers. Once the team was in place, the company could commit to its expansion programme which includes licensing areas and the setup of a network, panning the width and breadth of the UK, In 2004 Pony Sameday was recognised for its excellent service and continued customer support with the ISO 9001 accreditation.

Background

Pony Sameday is a major player in the courier business operating its business from Birmingham and London.  During its growth years Pony Sameday has managed to cover work from around the UK, operating from two locations. In recent years Pony Sameday has streamlined operations and now run all ground operations centrally from the West Midlands.

Current

The current owners who want to see Pony Sameday expand nationally and have decided to sell licences to serious businesses or individuals throughout the UK, with its current bases in London and Birmingham the two major UK cities, Pony Sameday has found that customers recognise and take the Pony Sameday brand seriously as a major player in the market.

Scope

It would be an ideal investment for already established courier companies or individuals who want to enter or expand in the courier industry.  With strong brand awareness and a potential to join a UK wide network, you will concentrate on creating a stronghold in your area.

Got an existing business in the courier industry?

Use our branding to offer courier services at the same level as our network does. You could enhance your existing business by getting more jobs from the Pony Sameday network.  This is a great option for already established businesses who want to increase sales and make the most of current overheads. YOU ARE FREE TO CONTUINUE TRADING IN YOUR CURRENT BUSINESS NAME, YOU CAN TRADE IN THE PONY SAMEDAY NAME ALONGSIDE YOUR EXISTING BUSINESS.

We recommend you charge industry standard rates starting at:

 *pplm = pence per loaded mile

The above rates are for guide only, you are free to charge whatever price you like.

You will market and manage your Pony Sameday business in your selected area, you will be free to conduct your business in any way you see fit, but will not do anything to jeopardise the brand.

Overnight Parcel Delivery Network

The long term plan is for Pony Sameday to expand operations into the express overnight parcel delivery sector.  Once we have a sound and robust same day network in place, we will then concentrate on building the overnight parcel network this will involve all members and will increase and generate more revenue for your business, enabling you to further expand in your area. 

Overnight deliveries will be taken care of all in-house using a hub and spoke operation, this will allow you to offer to your customers an extremely competitive service.

As the network grows so will the brand and your business, it is why we believe that licensing our brand will involve many likeminded people and is the best way to expand the network for both Pony Sameday and its Licensees.

Turnover

Your turnover will depend on the amount of advertising and promotion you carry out for your business.  Major cities like London and Manchester will tend to generate more revenue and turnover compared to smaller cities or towns.  This will be reflected in the end bid price when the listing goes live on auction.

A realistic figure for your turnover in year two would be £100,000 -£150,000 this is what we would together work towards increasing by 20%-30% year on year.

Generating and maintaining a turnover will all depend on the License Holder, the more work you put into the business, the busier your area will get.  

Drivers

Pony Sameday advertises online to find quality drivers with all credentials needed to become part of our team.  Enquiries from drivers would be forwarded to you via email and you can call potential drivers to arrange interviews, however we do suggest you find and recruit your own local drivers, you can do this by advertising free in Gumtree, Vivastreet, Job centre or any other free media.

What we recommend you should pay drivers:

*pplm = pence per loaded mile
