Dash Express, a division of The Dash Group, part of The APC delivery network - the largest independent parcel delivery network in the UK - has today announced the opening of a new 8,500 sq. ft. site in Plymouth.

Situated on Forge Lane, Saltash, the opening of this new, larger site comes following continued growth for the business group - which is on track to turnover £20 million this year - spurred by the strength of the region’s SME community and the ongoing demand for parcel services across Cornwall.

The new site, one of five within The Dash Group, 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, while the new facility focuses on supporting the growth of overnight parcel delivery and improving operational efficiency. Through The APC network’s nationwide coverage, this expansion enables local businesses to reach an ever-growing national customer base.

Since joining The APC network in 2019, the group’s logistics business has gone from strength to strength, with the new site in Saltash part of the firm’s ongoing investment into the future of its business. Through The APC network’s nationwide coverage, this expansion enables local businesses to reach an ever-growing national customer base.

Paul Dash, Operations Director at The Dash Group 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."

As part of The Dash Group’s investment into enhancing its sustainability credentials, the firm has also introduced five new electric vehicles to its fleet, with plans to make further investments into EV charging infrastructures across its sites.

Jonathan Smith, Chief Executive at The APC, said: “Across our network, we have and always will be strong believers in championing SME’s 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.”
