Fastway Couriers is a courier delivery services corporation headquartered in Napier, New Zealand.[6] The company currently operates in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland (including the North), and South Africa.[7]

Bill McGowan founded the business in 1983 with a single van, aiming to operate a cost effective, pre-paid, timetabled courier service.[8] In 1984 the company began two-tiers of franchising, at the regional and courier level.[9] . In 2016, the company has been acquired by Aramex.[10] Currently Fastway Couriers have 63 regional, and 1,200 courier franchisees across their network.[11]
