New depot opening in Deeside
DX, a leading provider of delivery solutions, including parcel
freight, secure courier, 2-Man and logistics services, is pleased
to announce further investment in its depot network with the
opening of a new depot in Deeside. This is the first new depot
opening in DX's new financial year, having opened nine depots in
the previous financial year, which ended 1 July 2023. It is part of
the Group's continuing evolution of its network in the North West
and North Wales regions, and follows DX's recent agreement to take
on 15 sites that were previously operated by Tuffnells Parcels
Express Limited.
The new site in Deeside will serve the Group's Parcels
operation, which is part of the DX Express division and provides
highly secure, tracked deliveries both to businesses and consumers.
The 9,900 square feet site is located on the Sandycroft Industrial
Estate, a well-established industrial estate, situated to the east
of Deeside town centre and only eight miles from Chester. It has
excellent local transport links, as well as very good access to the
A55 North Wales Expressway and the M56.
In addition to providing additional capacity, the new depot will
further improve the division's operational efficiencies, and
further reinforce the division's strong reputation for service,
with earlier deliveries and later collections, supported by local
customer services.
Importantly, the new depot will be operated with a view to
reducing carbon emissions, with energy efficient lighting and other
measures, it will also facilitate a reduction in stem mileages
resulting in lower fuel consumption.
Further investment in the depot network is planned for DX's new
financial year ending 29 June 2024, the final year of the Group's
current three-year, GBP20-GBP25 million investment programme.
Alongside the substantial investment in its delivery network, DX is
investing in new fleet, including electric vehicles,
parcel-handling mechanisation, and new technology.
Paul Ibbetson, Chief Executive Officer of DX (Group) plc,
commented:
"We have substantially expanded our depot network over the last
two years and this latest addition further increases our capability
in the North West and North Wales. It is also in addition to the 15
former Tuffnells sites that we are in the process of taking on.
"As well as delivering additional capacity, the investments will
ensure that we maintain our very high customer service levels as we
continue to grow the business. Service is integral - and critical -
to our ongoing successful growth and development."
