History
[edit]DX Group originated in the legal sector, with the Document Exchange member's network (informally "The DX" ) supplying the majority of legal firms within the UK. "Contracts,deeds,property settlements, financial agreements, barrister’s briefs, and original official documents are all carried via the trusted DX Exchange service. "[citation needed]
It became part of theHays plcgroup in the 1990s but was demerged in 2004 when Hays disposed of its logistics businesses.[2]With the acquisition of DX Secure (Secure Mail Services), DX became a more prominent player in mail and courier deliveries to residential addresses. This is a market that has in recent years experienced a huge increase in popularity and volume due toInternet shopping.
