Express Freight acquired by DX Group

Having provided strategic advice to Express Freight, a leading provider of pallet, parcel and general freight deliveries in Northern Ireland, it was pleasing to learn that they have been acquired by DX Group, which provides delivery solutions including parcel freight, secure courier, 2-person and logistics services.

With a 50-year track record, Express Freight is a family-owned and operated business, based at a purpose-built depot on a three-acre site in Moyraverty in Northern Ireland. The management team of Express Freight will remain with the business post-completion, ensuring its smooth integration into the DX network and continued high service quality to existing customers.

“I am excited to announce our first M&A activity under H.I.G. ownership 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, whilst expanding the presence of the DX brand, in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. I am delighted to welcome Michael Mitchell, Lynne Brown and all of the team, and I look forward to further success with Express Freight as part of DX Group.”
