DX Group announced the opening of a new depot in Carlisle. This is the Group's second depot opening in 2024 and follows the opening earlier in February of a depot situated in Preston, Lancashire. The new site comprising a 9,000 sq.

ft. facility is located on Kingstown Industrial Estate, north of Carlisle city centre. DX will transfer all the current operations at Penrith to this new larger, enhanced site.

This new depot adds further capacity for the Group's Parcels operation, part of the DX Express division which provides highly secure, tracked deliveries to both business and consumer addresses. The new depot also improves operational efficiencies, reduces stem mileage and carbon emissions, and enhances 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.
