Roadrunner Couriers Pty Ltd commenced
service in 1948 trading as Port Courier
Service and based in Port Adelaide.
Initially Port Courier Service provided the
courier requirements of companies with their
head offices in the city and branch offices
located in and around Port Adelaide.
Port Courier Service was founded in 1948 by
Mr Roger Baynes. Just prior to 1950 Roger
Baynes diversified his interests to
establish Messenger Newspapers and
ultimately develop this business into the
largest producer of suburban newspapers in
the Southern Hemisphere.
As a division of Messenger Newspapers, Port
Courier Service continued its successful
rise throughout the metropolitan area of
Adelaide.
In the early eighties the founder, Roger
Baynes passed away and control of Port
Courier Service was taken by Advertiser
Newspapers Limited.
In July 1983 Michael Ryan the manager of
Port Courier Service, made an offer to
Advertiser Newspapers to take over Port Courier
Service. The offer was accepted and on the
23rd of September 1983 Michael Ryan launched
his company Roadrunner Couriers. Roadrunner
continued to trade under the name of Port
Courier Service until December 1989 at which
time Roadrunner Couriers became the official
trading name.
New premises, a fully computerized booking
and despatch system including interactive
mobile data communication with our on road
fleet and our new trading name saw the
company enter the nineties ready to meet and
exceed the markets expectations for clients
both present and future.
July 1993 saw Roadrunner Couriers takeover
the business of Classic Couriers. Further
acquisitions of Lazer Couriers in September
1997, Metropolitan Couriers in February
2000 and CB Couriers in June 2009, now give the Roadrunner Group of
Companies the availability of over 90
vehicles to service the requirements of
customers.
Roadrunner Couriers, is a wholly South
Australian owned company. Roadrunner have
evolved as a successful company through the
