Announces
Third New Depot Opening in 2022 With Site in Dartford
DX, a leading provider of delivery solutions, including parcel
freight, secure courier, 2-Man and logistics services, is pleased
to announce the opening of its third new depot in 2022 with a new
site in Dartford, Kent.
The Group is continuing its network expansion, signing a
long-term lease over a c.28,000 sq. ft. depot located on a 1.2 acre
site in Edisons Park, Dartford. This will facilitate the expansion
of both the Group's DX Express division, which specialises in
secure, next-day document and parcel delivery, and its freight
operations at DX Freight.
DX Express's existing c.80-strong team at Swanley in Kent will
relocate to the new site, while DX Freight will expand its
operations at Swanley into the space vacated by DX Express. As well
as supporting capacity expansion in the South East of England, the
new depot at Dartford and expanded operation at Swanley will
enhance customer service levels in the region. DX expects to expand
both teams as they build volumes.
The opening of the Dartford site is part of DX's ongoing
investment in its delivery network. Over 12 additional depots are
planned to be added to the network over the next two years,
substantially increasing the Group's delivery capacity and service
levels. Between GBP20 million and GBP25 million has been earmarked
in a major investment programme that will also drive improvements
in parcel-handling equipment and IT infrastructure across the
Group.
Lloyd Dunn, Chief Executive Officer at DX (Group) plc,
commented:
"We are pleased to open this new DX Express depot in Dartford,
our third of the year so far. We are committed to driving
improvements across both of the Group's divisions, and this new
site will enable us to increase the capacity and service levels of
both Express and Freight in the South East of England. Our
investment in the business continues, with more than 12 further
sites planned to be added to our network over the next two
years."
