As part of its ambitious growth plans, DX Group has acquired Express Freight, a leading provider of pallet, parcel and general freight deliveries in Northern Ireland.
Following the completion of the acquisition, the management team of Express Freight will remain with the business, ensuring its smooth integration into the DX network and continued high service quality to existing customers.
Paul Ibbetson, chief executive officer of DX Group, commented, “I am both delighted and excited to announce our first M&A activity under H.I.G. ownership [which acquired DX Group in January 2024] with the acquisition of Express Freight, which is a natural fit for DX. We believe that integrating Express Freight within the DX Group will generate significant growth opportunities while expanding the presence of the DX brand in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. We are confident that the Express Freight customers will benefit from joining a larger group that is incredibly focused on service quality and customer satisfaction.”
