The name The Courier Guy came about almost by accident. In the mid-90s, founder Stephen Gleisner was at a turning point in life.
After leaving his career in the restaurant industry, he planned to regroup with a trip to Mozambique. But fate had other plans. While waiting for his visa, Gleisner agreed to a favor for his cousin, who needed a sample dropped off at a printer.
When Gleisner arrived, the printer, assuming he was a courier, asked, “Are you the courier guy?” Not wanting to explain his life story, Gleisner simply said, “Yes.” One thing led to another, and soon, he had more requests for deliveries.
People started referring to him as “the courier guy,” and the name stuck. What began as a random label turned into one of South Africa’s most trusted brands—The Courier Guy!
