"This is a unique opportunity to buy a well established, PACK & SEND franchise operation in Plymouth, with an asking price in the region of £55k.

Established in Plymouth and strategically positioned within a busy commercial district, PACK & SEND Plymouth has been developed under dedicated new leadership and delivers steady, reliable sales performance.

As with all PACK & SEND centres, Plymouth focuses on higher-margin, specialist packing and shipping solutions for art, antiques, collectibles, and large or awkward items. The centre has built a strong reputation for careful handling, custom crating expertise, and exceptional customer service — consistently reflected in its positive online reviews and repeat business from galleries, auction houses, and private clients.

The city is home to advanced manufacturing and engineering firms — including iconic names like Princess Yachts, Babcock, and Plessey — which frequently require custom crate packing and heavyweight shipping. Meanwhile, Plymouth’s burgeoning creative and arts sector, including galleries, studios, and cultural institutions, fuels demand for careful, insured transit of high-value items.

Plymouth also benefits from a dynamic educational ecosystem, anchored by the University of Plymouth with a large international student population. This brings cross-border-moving needs and regular enquiries for international shipping. On top of that, the newly established Plymouth & South Devon Freeport supports increased trade, import/export activity, and logistics opportunities.
This franchise presents significant growth potential. Plymouth benefits from a thriving creative and commercial community, strong regional transport links, and increasing demand for professional packing and international shipping services. The business comes to market due to a change in personal circumstances for the current owner, offering an incoming operator the opportunity to expand an already reputable and well-positioned PACK & SEND centre.

About PACK & SEND:

Launched in Australia over 30 years ago, PACK & SEND gives its franchise partners the opportunity to build highly successful, profitable businesses.

The top performing PACK & SEND centres generate annual turnovers of almost £800,000, benefitting from high gross margins in excess of 65% with high average transaction values and strong annual growth as their businesses win a constant stream of new customers on top of the ever-growing base of repeat customers.

PACK & SEND has a unique company profile, and position, within the multibillion-pound logistics industry. They specialise in packing and shipping large, fragile, valuable, or awkwardly shaped items that other courier suppliers and freight companies are typically not equipped to deal with.

The first UK PACK & SEND service centre opened in 2009 and the business has grown every year; they’ve worked closely with their franchise partners to hone their business and reach new heights of success.

We'll help you plan your marketing and sales strategy – it’s important to prepare your business launch in advance of the service centre opening, including your marketing and sales strategies; we can advise you on the best way to do this.
