Delivery firm DEXL has opened a 5,000ft2 depot in Cardiff to enable it to expand its overnight parcel and collection delivery services. The site takes DEXL’s total depot portfolio to 37,000ft2 across South Yorkshire, Greater Manchester and Wales.
The company has also introduced three new HGVs and seven electric vehicles (EVs), including company cars and electric vans, with plans to increase this number as part of its commitment to sustainability and modernization in the logistics industry.
Aaron Cullumbine, commercial director at DEXL, which is part of The APC delivery network, commented, “We continue to invest in the future of our business to ensure we are always providing the best possible service for our customers and can support their growth longer-term. As part of this we are working closely with our customers in our efforts to reduce our impact on the environment and to understand their sustainability goals, while continuing to provide a seamless and excellent delivery experience.”
DEXL has also invested in new branded uniforms for customer services, operations teams and drivers to bring together a unified corporate look and make sure there is a consistent, professional image across the board.
Jonathan Smith, chief executive at The APC, said, “DEXL is a great example of a business within our network that is investing for the future; enabling it to navigate the continued evolution of our industry and the needs of SME customers. The Cardiff site and the investment into EVs will ensure customers continue to get improved, more efficient and more sustainable service options.”
