DP World is expanding its logistics footprint in the United Kingdom by adding six GXO-operated logistics facilities to its integrated supply chain network, strengthening its warehousing and distribution capabilities across the country.
The expansion will enhance DP World’s ability to provide end-to-end logistics solutions, connecting ocean freight, ports, inland transport, warehousing and final-mile distribution for customers across multiple industries.
The six GXO sites will complement DP World’s existing UK logistics infrastructure, including its port operations, freight forwarding services and inland transport network. The move is expected to improve supply chain flexibility by providing customers with additional storage and distribution capacity closer to key markets.
The facilities will support a range of logistics activities, including inventory management, contract logistics and value-added services. By expanding its warehouse network, DP World aims to help businesses improve supply chain efficiency, reduce lead times and respond more effectively to changing market conditions.
The UK remains a strategic market for DP World, with the company investing heavily in developing an integrated logistics ecosystem. Its operations include major port facilities, rail connections and inland logistics centres designed to support the movement of goods from global origins to UK consumers.
The addition of the GXO sites reflects the growing demand for flexible logistics solutions as companies increasingly seek partners capable of managing complex supply chains under a single network.
DP World has been expanding beyond traditional port operations through investments in freight forwarding, contract logistics and technology-driven supply chain solutions. The company’s strategy focuses on providing customers with greater visibility, resilience and efficiency across global trade routes.
The UK logistics sector continues to experience rising demand for warehousing and distribution capacity, driven by e-commerce growth, changing consumer behaviour and the need for more resilient supply chains.
Through the expanded network, DP World aims to strengthen its position as an integrated logistics provider and support businesses with faster, more connected and sustainable supply chain solutions across the UK.
