Plans underway to launch Fastway International by mid-2017
Fastway Couriers Australia has advanced its chief operating officer (COO) Peter Lipinski to take over the reins from outgoing chief executive Richard Thame at a time when the company is planning new operational moves.
Lipinski, who has experience in parcel delivery operations, customer relationship management and business planning, has been tasked to steer the launch of the company’s International division by mid this year.
“I’m delighted to continue at Fastway Couriers Australia in my new role as CEO,” Lipinski says.
“I look forward to working with my team to drive profitability and grow our services.
“Together with our Aramex family, we’ll optimise technologies to launch our latest initiative, ‘Fastway International’.
“This will be our latest service offering which will set us apart once again, and provide our customers with all the tools they need to make their business a success.
“We’re confident that we’ll offer our Australian businesses the ability to send and receive parcels on a global scale by mid-year.”
Lipinski’s predecessor Thame has been appointed to the role of regional director Australia and New Zealand of Aramex, which purchased Fastway Couriers in January last year.
“It’s an honour to take over the reins from Richard, who firmly established Fastway Couriers as a leading courier company and a challenger brand in the online retailing market,” Lipinski says.
