Logistics, freight and final mile specialist DX Group has made three new appointments to its executive leadership team to support its next stage of growth, the company has revealed.
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 in July 2025.
DX, which has its headquarters in Slough, said the new appointments will help to reinforce the group’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 MD of DX Freight. Ingram has been with DX for over six years and was previously operations director and national hubs director.
DX said 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. Illidge 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 MD of DX Express, with responsibility for secure, time-critical courier and mail services. DX said he 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, DX chief executive, 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.”
