DX Freight Appointments
DX, a leading provider of delivery solutions, including parcel freight, secure
courier and Logistics/2-Man services, is pleased to announce a number of
senior management appointments at its DX Freight division, following Paul
Ibbetson's promotion to Chief Executive Officer of the Group. These
appointments take immediate effect.
The role of Managing Director of DX Freight has been divided to create two new
heads of its business units, 1-Man and Logistics/2-Man. The decision to create
these new roles reflects the significant growth of the division over recent
years and the expansion opportunities ahead for both 1-Man and
Logistics/2-Man.
Graham Hollingdrake, previously DX Freight Operations Director, has been
appointed as Managing Director of 1-Man, which provides tracked, next-day
delivery services primarily to businesses addresses and is one of only a small
number of carriers able to provide next-day deliveries of large and
irregularly shaped items (the "IDW" market). Since joining DX in 2021, Graham
has been instrumental in delivering the highest service levels in the
division's history and driving improved standards throughout the network, a
key factor behind its continued success.
The current Director of Network Development, Stuart Dawson, becomes Operations
Director for 1-Man. Stuart has been integral in improving operational systems
and processes throughout the 1-Man network and will provide solid continuity,
whilst driving service levels and standards.
Ian Bolton, previously Director of Logistics, has been appointed as Managing
Director of Logistics/2-Man, which provides delivery services for larger
consumer goods and specialist logistics services. Ian has worked for DX since
2013, and has been a key figure in the development of the Logistics/2-Man
division, including the recent establishment of five dedicated 2-Man
supersites.
Phil Scorer has been promoted to Operations Director of Logistics/2-Man and
Elaine Phillips steps up to the role of Sales Director of Logistics/2-Man,
after a very successful period as a Regional Sales Manager within 1-Man.
Darren Bell has been promoted to the role of Group Fleet and Compliance
Director. Since joining DX in 2018, Darren has been responsible for
transforming the DX fleet. DX now has one of the youngest fleets in the
industry and uses market-leading technology to measure performance. In
Compliance, he has built a team that will ensure high vehicle and driving
standards are maintained. Darren is leading future initiatives, including the
further deployment of EV vehicles across the network.
Paul Ibbetson, Chief Executive of DX (Group) plc, commented,
"The creation of two new Managing Directors at DX Freight is a sign of both
the successful growth we have achieved at the division in recent years and of
our confidence in the ongoing prospects for 1-Man and Logistics/2-Man. All
these appointments reflect the depth of talent in the team and are
well-deserved. I look forward to working with everyone as we continue to build
revenue and profitability for the Group."
