InXpress, a third-party logistics company with a network of over 400 franchises in 14 counties, recognized its top entrepreneurs in North America at its 2021 franchise convention.

This year’s Franchisee of the Year went to Mark Lyon, who came into the organization with several years of working in shipping and logistics and ample outside sales experience. Lyon opened his InXpress franchise in 2007, and continues to scale his business. Currently, his franchise serves over 400 clients, and he continues to hire sales reps appropriately.

“In this industry and with our vast service offerings, once you can start with your first customer, and build up a really solid base, it becomes residual revenue that provides growth to hire more people,” said Lyon.  

InXpress is the only non-asset authorized shipping reseller logistics company in the U.S. that can offer customers multiple shipping solutions through a global network of robust carrier partners.

Additional top-performing recognition awards included:

• Largest Franchise – Tom Morris who has significantly scaled his business over the last 13 years

• Fastest Growing Franchise – Cathy Battreall who has experienced accelerated growth over the last 11 years

• Hall of Fame awarded to late Ralph Moccio, whose award was accepted by his wife Kim, who is continuing to operate the business he successfully built.

Another all-star franchisee, Michael Hart, received a special recognition, deemed the Ralph Moccio Spirit of the Gladiator award. This particular award was generated by his peers, the network of InXpress franchisees, nominate the owner who has made the biggest impact on the network and embodied all of the brands core values.

“InXpress is a network and community of high-performing franchise owners who are willing to challenge themselves to be the most reliable shipping consultants to better serve small-to-medium size businesses with international small parcel, domestic small parcel and LTL (freight) needs,” said CEO Dustin Hansen. “Our core values keep every franchise owner focused on the big picture for their individual enterprises and the company as a whole, as we grow in alignment, navigate change successfully and remain consistent with steadfast principles.”
