Nightfreight GB is a British overnight delivery and logistics company founded in 1984. It was listed on the London Stock Exchange from 1994 to 2001, when it was put back into private ownership.[1] The company then developed a niche in irregular dimension and weight or IDW freight, and soon became the market leader that area. Nightfreight currently operate a fleet of over 1000 vehicles and employs over 2500 people. It spans three hubs and 52 depots around the United Kingdom.
On 15 March 2012 Nightfreight was acquired by DX Group, resulting in a business with combined revenues of approximately £300m a year. The acquisition will create the UK and Ireland's largest independent mail, courier and network distribution service. [2]
On 1 August 2013 Nightfreight was rebranded DX Freight.
