It said this included four freight depots in new locations for the Slough-based business – in Andover, Hampshire; Haydock, Merseyside; Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire; and Lockerbie, in south-west Scotland.
Meanwhile, the other six new depots will replace existing sites.
They are located in Carnforth, Lancashire; Crawley, West Sussex; Dewsbury and Leeds, both in West Yorkshire; Northampton, Northamptonshire; and Sheffield.
DX chief executive Paul Ibbetson said the openings substantially increased the firm’s freight capability and provided the additional capacity needed to handle “volume growth”.
He added: “They will also support our drive for further efficiencies, environmental and customer service benefits.
