Expands depot network with two new sites in Oxford and
Westbury
DX, a leading provider of delivery solutions, including parcel
freight, secure, courier, 2-Man and logistics services, is pleased
to announce the opening of two new depots, in Westbury and Oxford,
as part of the ongoing expansion of its depot network.
Both depots will serve DX's Freight division, which specialises
in the B2B and B2C delivery of items of irregular dimensions and
weight ("IDW"). The c. 14,500 sq. ft. site in Westbury is located
at West Wilts Trading Estate, with the slightly smaller Oxford site
at Cherwell Valley Business Park.
The new sites increase the division's network capacity in both
regions, and will also drive greater operational efficiency as well
as enhance customer service levels.
The opening of the new depots is the latest step in DX Freight's
development, which has seen a dramatic turnaround in performance
over the last three years. After a fundamental reorganisation was
completed in 2018, which included devolving responsibility and
accountability to regional directors and general managers, the
division has benefited from approximately GBP3.5m of investment so
far. This has been channelled into site infrastructure
improvements, including basic mechanisation, technology, and
network expansion, and into the fleet.
Further significant investment is planned over the coming
months, and DX Senior Management sees significant potential for
further growth in the division, capitalising on its expertise in
IDW and high customer service levels.
Paul Ibbetson, Managing Director of DX Freight, said:
"The opening of these new depots at Oxford and Westbury is the
latest investment in our freight depot network. We added a new
depot in Ipswich in January this year and have also increased our
capacity at our Northampton and Newport depots. These developments
support the ambitious expansion plans we have for the division over
the next three years."
Lloyd Dunn, Chief Executive Officer at DX Group, commented:
"The new depot openings are just the latest sign of the
confidence we feel about DX Freight's future expansion. The team
has worked hard over the last three years to recalibrate the
division and we are now very focused on growth. The expansion of
the depot network is a key part of our growth plans, and will also
support enhanced customer service."
