Aramex New Zealand is really going places. With 18 Regional Franchises and more than 280 Courier Franchisees, our network reaches far and wide. Thousands of Kiwi customers trust us to deliver.
We’re part of the global Aramex network, a multinational logistics, courier, freight and package delivery company. Founded in Jordan in 1982, Aramex is a publicly listed company on the NASDAQ stock exchange.
In New Zealand, our heritage began in 1983, when Kiwi Bill McGowan saw a market for a local courier company to provide reliable service to businesses in the Hawke’s Bay region. The Fastway Couriers brand was born, its success soon spreading to many other parts of New Zealand. Ten years later, Fastway Couriers expanded to Australia.
In 2016, Fastway Couriers became part of the Aramex network. We’re still proudly Kiwi, offering the same friendly, local service, along with the opportunities and services of a truly global business.
Today, we offer competitive prices and reliable, scheduled courier services as well as complex freight and logistics solutions. Our delivery systems are backed up by the latest technology and real-time Track & Trace facilities, making Aramex the delivery partner of choice to businesses of all sizes. With easy connections to leading e-commerce sites, our online delivery portal makes sending easy for thousands of online businesses.
Due to unprecedented growth, we are actively seeking more Courier Franchisees to join the Aramex network. We offer comprehensive training and support, as well as the backing of a global brand. Our franchisees come from all walks of life and enjoy the opportunity to be their own boss in a thriving industry. To find out more email us at recruitment@aramex.co.nz

New Zealand’s franchise sector is a significant contributor to the New Zealand economy and is the business structure of choice for many business owners.
In recent years, we have seen an increase in clients seeking advice in respect of Franchise as they look for new ways to plan for succession of their existing business or want to engage in business through structured arrangements where risk is sought to be systematically minimised.

We can provide a broad range of advisory services whilst also covering the whole of a franchise’s accounting needs in a cost-effective way, with access to relevant software for maximum business efficiency.
