Delivery firm Dash Express has opened a new, larger site and deployed electric vans on the back of growth.
The business, a division of the Dash Group, itself part of the APC delivery network, has opened a new 8,500sq.ft site in Plymouth.
Situated in Saltash, the new facility is twice the size of the previous site, allowing the business to expand on its overnight and same-day delivery, pallet distribution and warehousing fulfilment services to local businesses across Cornwall and Devon.
Additionally, the increased space allows Dash Group to repurpose the previous site for its vehicle rental business, Dash Drive.
Paul Dash, operations director, commented: “Since joining the APC network, we’ve seen a growing demand for parcel services, and we’ve had the opportunity to support many fantastic local businesses across the region and expand our SME customer base. At Dash Group, we are dedicated to understanding and meeting the evolving needs of our customers and this investment in our new site marks our ongoing commitment to supporting their continued growth.”
The firm has also introduced five new electric vehicles to its fleet, supporting a focus on its sustainability credentials and backed by plans for further investment in EV charging infrastructure across its sites.
Jonathan Smith, chief executive at APC, said: “Across our network, we have and always will be strong believers in championing SMEs across the country. The Dash Group’s continued investment into the future of its business and sustainability initiatives is testament to its commitment to strengthening local service, fostering collaborative partnerships and building for the future growth of our customers.”
