DX Group appoints Ian Truesdale as CEO amid expansion plans

LONDON - DX Group, a provider of delivery solutions, has appointed Ian Truesdale as Chief Executive Officer effective July 1, 2025, according to a press release statement issued Thursday.

Truesdale succeeds Paul Ibbetson, who led the company’s sale to H.I.G. Capital. He joins DX from Unipart Group, where he served as Managing Director of Unipart Logistics, Unipart Consulting and was a Main Board Director.

With over 40 years of experience in logistics and supply chain management, Truesdale previously held senior positions at Kuehne + Nagel AG, CEVA/TNT Logistics, and DHL/Exel Freight Management. He began his career as an engineer and received training in logistics and lean manufacturing from Toyota (NYSE:TM) in Japan.

The appointment comes as DX pursues expansion plans following its acquisition by H.I.G. Capital in January 2024. The company has invested over £12 million in a new regional hub in Derbyshire, expanded its depot network, and acquired Express Freight to strengthen its presence in Northern Ireland.

In April, DX launched "DX SameDay," a nationwide 24/7 same-day courier service.

"DX is in a terrific position, and I am delighted to be leading the next phase of the Group’s growth," Truesdale said in the statement.

H.I.G. Capital, which completed the public-to-private acquisition of DX, is a global alternative investment firm with $70 billion of assets under management, focusing on the mid-cap market segment.

DX provides services including parcel freight, secure courier, 2-person, logistics and same-day delivery services.
