DX Group has shared it is pleased to announce the opening of a major new regional hub in Haydock, Merseyside.

Located on a 3.3 acre site in the Yew Tree trading estate, it has a purposely built 19,644 sq ft cross dock warehouse, capacity for 52 trailers and there is also a 2-storey office building to the front of the site.

The new regional hub will serve the Group’s Freight division, and in particular its IDW (irregular dimension and weight) delivery services.

It is one of 15 other sites from former Tuffnells Express Limited to be revived back into operation by the group, having secured them after Tufnells went into admiration in June.   

Paul Ibbetson, Chief Executive Officer of DX (Group) plc, commented: "We continue to invest significantly in the business and are pleased to add the new regional hub in Haydock to our Freight division.

“This opening substantially increases our freight capability in the North West of England, giving us the additional capacity we need to handle the growth that we are seeing. It also supports our drive for further efficiencies and environmental and service benefits.

“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 coming months” he added.    

This latest opening continues DX’s programme to expand and develop its depot network, and significantly increases the Group’s freight capabilities in the North West. The new regional hub will also improve operational efficiencies, reduce stem mileage and carbon emissions, and enhance customer service levels, a key focus for the Group.
