Fastway Couriers Sydney has appointed two new team members to the company’s franchise management team.

Cameron Taylor has been appointed director of operations, while Yaggy Gill will join the team as regional franchise manager.

David Ciantar, GM at Fastway Couriers Sydney, says that the Sydney franchise has enjoyed substantial growth over the last 12 months, particularly in terms of online retail customers.

“I’m delighted to announce the appointments of both Cameron and Yaggy, who are both very experienced and bring a wealth of knowledge to the franchise. We’re certainly delighted with the growth we’re experiencing at Fastway Sydney and these appointments have taken place to support that growth,” says Ciantar.

Ciantar says he gears his business strategies to adapt to the changing needs of Fastway’s customers.

“We instil a customer first philosophy in all our business activities and with Yaggy and Cameron joining the team, we’ll continue to deliver the very best service and support to our Courier Franchisees and customers.”

With the holiday season fast approaching, Fastway Couriers is expecting to see a huge boom in business, especially from the wine industry, as figures suggest that Fastway Couriers is on track to seeing a 20 per cent growth in the number of online purchases compared to last year.

“We‘ve seen a huge shift in the market and we now receive the majority of our business from online retail. In fact, we’ve just delivered our 500,000th carton of wine for 2013, that’s a 25 per cent increase in wine delivery. If this continues, it’s predicted we’ll move one million cartons of wine this calendar year.”
