Pack & Send, which provides packaging and freight forwarding services through a network of retail stores, is concentrating on recruiting Master Franchise partners for Germany, Ireland, Italy, France, Sweden, Spain and the Netherlands. The company, however, is keen to expand its brand across Europe and welcomes applications for countries and territories it is not specifically targeting.

The initial investment to establish a Master Franchise will vary depending on territory size and potential (minimum investment €500,000) and includes use of Pack & Send resources including:

• 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
• Manual - a library of documents that detail every item of the business system and work procedures
• Training - comprehensive initial and ongoing training programmes

Pack & Send is looking to recruit Master Franchise partners who are English speaking entrepreneurs able to demonstrate a financial and commercial ability to develop a network of Pack & Send stores throughout their territory. Ideally applicants will be highly motivated individuals, 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.
