DX Group

("DX" or "the Group")

Opens first regional depot in the Republic of Ireland

 

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 its first regional depot in the Republic of Ireland.

 

The new site comprising a 7,500 sq. ft. facility is located on Toberbride
Business Park in Collooney, Sligo and will cover Counties Sligo, Leitrim, Mayo
and Roscommon.

 

The opening of the Sligo depot marks the start of a plan to expand the DX
network within the Republic of Ireland. The Group is actively sourcing
additional strategic locations to further enhance service levels and increase
capacity across the country.

 

This new depot adds capacity for the Group's Parcels operation, part of the DX
Express division which provides highly secure, tracked deliveries. The new
depot also improves operational efficiencies, reduces stem mileage, 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 our first regional depot in the Republic of
Ireland. This is a statement of intent to increase the DX presence in ROI. The
new depot in Sligo 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 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."
