DX Group Strengthens Executive Leadership Team

New leadership appointments support next phase of growth

DX, a leading provider of logistics solutions across parcel, freight, document, fulfilment and final mile, today announces three new appointments to its Executive Leadership Team to support the Company’s next stage of growth.

These appointments form part of a broader programme to enhance and consolidate leadership strength across the business and follow Ian Truesdale’s appointment as Chief Executive Officer in July 2025. The new appointments will help to reinforce DX’s focus on operational delivery, service quality and long-term value creation, and build on the
experience already in place across the organisation.

Paul Ingram has been appointed Managing Director of DX Freight. Paul has been with DX for over six years and was previously Operations Director and National Hubs Director. His appointment reflects the quality and strength of the Company’s existing management and DX’s commitment to developing talent from within the business.

Martin Illidge has been appointed to the newly-created role of Director of Operational Development. Martin joined DX in 2011 and brings more than 30 years of industry experience. In this new role, he will focus on driving operational improvement across service delivery, productivity and performance.

Mark O’Sullivan has joined DX as Managing Director of DX Express, with responsibility for secure, time-critical courier and mail services. Mark brings extensive experience from across the parcels sector, having previously held senior roles at DPD and Yodel.

These new appointments to the Executive Leadership Team follow recent corporate activity. In early January 2026, DX acquired HBC Logistics and, in mid-January, agreed a strategic partnership with Rhenus Logistics. HBC Logistics has expanded DX’s Logistics and SameDay capability, while the Rhenus partnership sees DX assume responsibility for
Rhenus’s two-person home delivery services across the UK and Ireland.

Ian Truesdale, Chief Executive Officer of DX, said:

“This is about strengthening the leadership team to support the strategy we’ve set for DX. Our appointments recognise the significant talent we have within the business and also bring in experience where it adds real value. We have a solid foundation in place as DX moves into its next phase of growth. Having the right leaders in place is central to delivering consistently for our customers and supporting sustainable growth across the business.”
