DX Group has opened a new depot in Carlisle that will add further capacity for the company’s parcels operation, part of the DX Express division which provides highly secure, tracked deliveries to both business and consumer addresses.
The new 2,743.2m2 facility is located on Kingstown Industrial Estate, north of Carlisle city center. DX will transfer all the current operations at Penrith to this new larger, enhanced site.
The depot will improve operational efficiencies, reduce stem mileage and carbon emissions and enhance customer service levels.
Paul Ibbetson, chief executive officer of DX Group, commented, “We are pleased to be opening this new facility in Carlisle, which replaces the previous Penrith depot. It will provide our Express operations with greater capacity and increase capability in the area. It also helps to make us more efficient and reduces 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 program across the group, including IT, vehicles and equipment.”
This is the group’s second depot opening in 2024 and follows the opening in February of a depot situated in Preston, Lancashire.
