Located on the Norquest Industrial Estate, the Birstall facility spans 35,000 ft2 while the Wellingborough site is located on the Ise Valley Industrial Estate and totals 10,000 ft2. 

These two new Super Sites take the total number of DX-2 Super Sites across the UK to nine. The Super Sites were introduced to support continued growth in the DX 2-person delivery Division, which specialises in delivering larger and heavier consumer goods to customers, including to room-of-choice, be that home, office or garden.

DX-2 is has a main hub based in Nottingham and 19 dedicated depots, including the nine Super Sites. It also has a dedicated fleet operating over 100 daily routes, and employs in excess of 450 colleagues.

DX Group Chief Executive Officer Ian Truesdale, said: “We are delighted to have opened these additional new DX-2 Super Sites in Birstall and Wellingborough. They will provide our DX-2 operations with greater capacity, further increase capability and get us closer to our customers’ customers. They also help to make us more efficient and reduce 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 programme across the Group, including IT, vehicles and equipment.”
