DX, a UK and Ireland provider of logistics solutions, has announced the acquisition of HBC Logistics, a logistics and same-day services business based in Bedfordshire, UK.
The acquisition comes six months after the appointment of Ian Truesdale as CEO in July 2025 by DX’s parent company HIG capital, an alternative investment firm with US$70bn of assets under management, marking the first step of the company’s next phase of growth.
Founded in 2017, HBC Logistics delivers fast and scheduled logistics solutions, offering warehousing and fulfillment, palletized freight, same-day courier services and international shipping. It is headquartered at Stratton Business Park in Biggleswade, where it operates a 5,800m2 facility, and has additional support centers in Hertfordshire, Cambridge and London.
The company’s footprint spans the South East, West Midlands and East Midlands, supported by a diverse fleet ranging from small vans to articulated HGVs.
Truesdale said, “We’re delighted to welcome the team at HBC Logistics to DX. They bring valuable operational capability and sector experience as we continue to evolve the business, particularly across our DX Fulfillment and DX SameDay propositions.
“This acquisition marks the next phase in DX’s expansion and development. It reflects deliberate choices about where we invest and how we grow, both organically and through future acquisitions. DX turned 50 last year, and we are now moving forward with intent, investing in our services, developing our people and delivering greater value for our customers. Bringing HBC into the business is an early example of that direction in action.”
