Rival DX Group, which agreed to rescue 15 of Tuffnells' parcel express sites and save 250 staff, has now reopened 12 sites in total.

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".

Courier firm DX Group has confirmed a rival company has launched a legal case accusing it of corporate espionage.

DX announced two weeks ago the appointment of Paul Ibbetson as its new chief executive after Lloyd Dunn resigned in September last year.

DX said it received a claim from Tuffnell Parcels Express "in relation to confidential competitor information being obtained by DX in the past".
