DX Group

("DX" or "the Group")

Opens new depot in Carlisle

 

DX Group, a leading provider of delivery solutions, including parcel freight,
secure courier, 2-Man, and logistics services, is pleased to announce the
opening of a new depot in Carlisle. This is the Group's second depot opening
in 2024 and follows the opening earlier in February of a depot situated in
Preston, Lancashire.

 

The new site comprising a 9,000 sq. ft. facility is located on Kingstown
Industrial Estate, north of Carlisle city centre. DX will transfer all the
current operations at Penrith to this new larger, enhanced site.

 

This new depot adds further capacity for the Group's Parcels operation, part
of the DX Express division which provides highly secure, tracked deliveries to
both business and consumer addresses. The new depot also improves operational
efficiencies, reduces stem mileage and carbon emissions, and enhances customer
service levels, a key focus for the Group. The DX Parcels operation remains a
major area of growth for the Group and further capital investment is planned
over the remainder of the year to support this.

 

Paul Ibbetson, Chief Executive Officer of DX Group, commented:

 

"We are pleased to be opening this new facility in Carlisle, which replaces
the previous Penrith depot. It will provide our Express operations with
greater capacity and increase capability in the area. It also helps to make us
more efficient and reduces our stem mileage, which in turn will lower our
overall carbon emissions. We continue to focus on setting market-leading
service standards.

 

"We have invested significantly in our depot network over the past few years
and will continue this programme across the Group, including IT, vehicles and
equipment."
