Culture

We understand that it is our success in delivering each day on our promises to our customers that enables them, in turn, to deliver on their promises to their customers.

We expect every member of our organisation, from workforce to management team, to accept responsibility and accountability for their role in ensuring we achieve this objective. To encourage this, we promote a culture of teamwork, mutual support and mutual respect.

Our workforce is, by its natural composition, culturally diverse. We work hard to foster a workplace environment where all employees feel included, appreciated, recognised and valued. We encourage all colleagues to take an interest in activities at all levels and seek to receive and consider their views across a wide range of matters.

We operate a ‘promote from within’ policy across all our divisions, with many of our current Regional Directors having made their way up through our ranks.

Just as we believe in clear and transparent communication with our customers, we believe in the importance of this within our organisation. Any colleague who contacts our CEO is assured of a personal and focused reply from him.

Finally, but fundamental to our culture, we look to all colleagues to go the extra mile in everything they do.

Equality & Diversity

Here at DX, we understand that one size does not fit all. Understanding what makes our people tick helps us to create a place where everyone feels included and can be themselves. A place free from discrimination, harassment and victimisation, where everyone receives equal treatment and where all decisions are objective, free from bias and based solely upon work criteria and individual merit.
