What FMH Group does

FMH Group (Freight Management Holdings Pty Ltd) is a privately held Australian logistics holding company that provides integrated 4PL, warehousing, transportation, and parcel delivery services across Australia and New Zealand. The group operates through a portfolio of subsidiaries including efm Logistics (Australia's largest 4PL), CouriersPlease (B2C parcel delivery with 800+ franchise territories and 30M+ parcels delivered annually), Border Express (national express transport with 18 facilities, 700+ vehicles, and 1,700 employees/contractors), AFS Logistics (4PL/3PL and international freight forwarding, acquired December 2025), and GKR Transport, Niche Logistics, Formby Logistics, and BagTrans under the Logistics Holdings Australia division. Combined annual revenue exceeds AUD 1.3 billion, positioning the group among the top five logistics companies in Australia by revenue. The group serves enterprise customers in retail, FMCG, healthcare, manufacturing, and distribution sectors.

The group's technology backbone consists of two proprietary platforms: FLIP (Flip Group Technologies), the in-house software development company that builds logistics software for efm and other 4PL customers, and MOVEITcx, the proprietary platform of AFS Logistics that provides supply chain visibility and decision-making support. These platforms enable real-time tracking, data analytics, and operational efficiency across the network, which includes 76,000+ m² of warehousing space. Revenue is generated through transaction fees on freight, storage and handling fees for warehousing, franchise fees and shipment charges from the CouriersPlease network, and negotiated B2B contracts and tender wins with enterprise customers.

The company traces its origins to efm Logistics, founded by Damian Degenhardt in 2000. Singapore Post Limited (SingPost) became a substantial minority investor in 2020 and eventual controller. In March 2025, Pacific Equity Partners (PEP) acquired FMH Group from SingPost for approximately AUD 1.4 billion, with Paul Little AO (former Managing Director of Toll Holdings) appointed as Chairman. The group has since accelerated M&A activity, acquiring AFS Logistics in December 2025, and appointed Saul Resnick (formerly CEO of DHL Supply Chain UK and Ireland) as Group CEO effective 1 February 2026.
