UltraEx Celebrates its 30th AnniversaryIn April 1981, Ernie Holbrook started his first

business under its original name, Speedway

Delivery and Messenger Service. This year,

UltraEx is thrilled to be celebrating 30 years in

business as “your same day delivery experts.”

In 1961, Ernie began his career in the same day

delivery industry as a bike messenger. He moved

his way up the ranks learning every aspect of the industry eventually realiz-

ing his business potential and desire to start his own company. Twenty years

later, Ernie sold his 1956 Harley Davidson to fund his business venture and

with help from two of

his brothers and two

friends, Speedway was

officially up and running.

A true entrepreneur at

heart, Ernie laid a solid

foundation on which

the business could grow

and today UltraEx con-

tinues to operate as an

employee based corpora-

tion.

“During the past three

decades the business

has grown through two

mergers and more than

twenty five acquisitions.

The most significant

assets to come out of

those business moves are

the employees and share-

holders that have joined

and remained a part of

the UltraEx family,” says

Ernie Holbrook presi-

dent and CEO. “It is this

‘Dream Team’ that keeps us on top in an extremely competitive market.”

Now, with over 100 employees and 75 company owned vehicles UltraEx

thrives on providing outstanding customer service by using state-of-the-art

technology, and as our customers agree, the professionalism is unparalleled. MCW
