Parcels, mail and logistics operator DX has announced that it's acquired the trade and assets of Legal Post and First Post from First Scottish.

The deal was signed for £3.25 million and will be completed by the end of this month (May 2016), reports Logistics Manager.

Legal Post and First Post are set to be combined by DX and it plans to join them with its existing DX Exchange operations in Scotland.

By doing this, the logistics company hopes to be able to offer a better all round service to both sets of its customers.

Petar Cvetkovic, chief executive officer of DX, said that doing this will also be responsible for "increasing the number of members in a single Scottish exchange network and providing Legal Post's members with access to DX's existing members in the UK and Ireland."

Having a larger business in Scotland will mean that the overall company will be more streamlined and efficient.
