DX, a UK and Ireland-based provider of logistics and transport solutions, has acquired Bedfordshire-headquartered HBC Logistics as part of a strategy to scale its fulfilment, freight and same-day delivery operations across the UK logistics network.

The acquisition marks the first major transaction since Ian Truesdale was appointed chief executive in July 2025 by DX’s parent company, HIG Capital. HIG Capital is a US-based alternative investment firm with US$70bn (€64.6bn) in assets under management and specialises in growth-oriented investments across industrial and service sectors.

Founded in 2017, HBC Logistics provides fast and scheduled transport services, including warehousing and fulfilment, palletised freight, same-day courier operations and international shipping. The business operates from a 5,800 square metre facility at Stratton Business Park in Biggleswade, supported by additional centres in Hertfordshire, Cambridge and London. Its transport footprint spans the South East, West Midlands and East Midlands, underpinned by a mixed fleet ranging from small vans to articulated HGVs.

DX said the acquisition strengthens its DX Fulfilment and DX SameDay propositions, enhancing its ability to serve customers requiring time-critical transport, multi-node distribution and integrated logistics solutions. The expanded footprint supports higher service density in key UK commercial and industrial regions, while adding operational scale to meet rising demand for fast, flexible delivery models.

Commenting on the transaction, Ian Truesdale said, “We’re delighted to welcome the team at HBC Logistics to DX. They bring valuable operational capability and sector experience as we continue to evolve the business, particularly across our DX Fulfillment and DX SameDay propositions.”
