DX Group

("DX" or "the Group")

Opens new depot in Aberdeen

 

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 Aberdeen.

 

The new site, comprising a 4,000 sq. ft. facility, is located on J Badentoy
Business Centre in Portlethen, and is a relocation of an existing depot to
larger, much improved facilities.

 

This new depot adds capacity to the Group's Parcels operation, part of the DX
Express division, which provides highly secure, tracked deliveries. The new
depot will also improve operational efficiencies, reduce stem mileages, carbon
emissions, and enhance 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:

"The current financial year is a major year of investment across the Group.
This latest depot opening in Aberdeen provides a much improved facility and
significantly increases our capability in the area for our Parcels operations.
It also delivers further efficiencies alongside environmental and customer
service benefits.

"Enlarging and improving the depot network underpins the continued successful
delivery of our growth plans over the short to medium term. We look forward to
reporting on further openings over the coming months."
