The new site, which is located in Chandler’s Ford, Eastleigh, comprises a 25,000 sq ft facility and replaces a smaller depot in Totton. It is the latest addition to the Group’s Parcels network, part of the DX Express division, which provides highly secure, tracked deliveries to both business and consumer addresses. The new depot will improve operational efficiencies, reduce carbon emissions and enhance customer service levels, a key focus for the Group.

Paul Ibbetson, Chief Executive Officer of DX Group, commented:

We are pleased to open this new DX Express depot in Southampton as part of our continued investment in the business. The new depot will enhance our position in Hampshire, increasing the capacity and capability of our Parcels operation. It will deliver further efficiencies to our operations and provide enhanced local customer service benefits, a priority for the Group. “Enlarging and improving the depot network underpins the continued successful delivery of our growth plans over the short to medium term, and we look forward to reporting on further openings over the forthcoming months.
