DX Group has opened two new distribution facilities in Birstall and Wellingborough, expanding its DX-2 network to nine Super Sites across the UK.
The Birstall site, based on Norquest Industrial Estate, covers 35,000 sq ft, while the Wellingborough facility spans 10,000 sq ft at Ise Valley Industrial Estate. Both locations are part of the company’s continued investment in infrastructure to support growth in its two-person delivery division, which specialises in handling large and heavy consumer goods.
The DX-2 network now operates 19 depots, including the nine Super Sites, and runs a dedicated fleet managing over 100 daily routes. Around 450 employees support the division, which delivers to homes and commercial properties nationwide.
By expanding its Super Site network, DX aims to enhance operational efficiency, reduce travel distances and emissions, and strengthen customer service. The investment follows several years of network development across the Group, including upgrades to IT systems, vehicles, and equipment.
Ian Truesdale, Chief Executive Officer of DX Group, commented:
“We are delighted to have opened these additional new DX-2 Super Sites in Birstall and Wellingborough. They will provide our DX-2 operations with greater capacity, further increase capability and get us closer to our customers’ customers. They also help to make us more efficient and reduce our stem mileage, which in turn will lower our overall carbon emissions. We continue to focus on setting market-leading service standards. 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.”
