Specialist Logistics Services for Galleries

Galleries deal in objects that are, by definition, unique and often irreplaceable. Our fine art logistics teams have decades of experience handling works such as paintings, ceramics, photography, glass, and large-scale installations. We use high-quality crating, packing, and climate-controlled transport as standard, with every member of our team understanding that the care of the work is the biggest priority.

Protecting works in transit begins well in advance of our transport arriving. Our team designs and builds bespoke crates tailored to the specific dimensions, material and fragility of each piece, ensuring every work travels with the protection it requires. Whether a delicate work on paper or a large and complex sculptural piece, we apply the same rigour to every crate we produce, so galleries and lenders can be confident that works arrive in exactly the condition they left.

Hanging and positioning objects in a gallery isn’t as simple as it sounds. Our installation crews work from your specific plans and layout specifications, positioning works precisely and collaborating closely with your curatorial team to achieve the results you’re looking for. We bring the right equipment for every installation challenge, from heavy-duty lifting equipment for large works to bespoke mounting solutions for challenging hanging pieces.

Many gallery exhibitions rely on works travelling across borders, from international lenders, private collections and institutions worldwide. Our international freight capability, combined with expertise in customs documentation, import compliance and temporary import arrangements, means we can manage the full movement cycle for works coming into and leaving the UK, ensuring nothing is delayed and every compliance box is ticked.

Gallery inventory rarely sits still for long. Our storage services for galleries provide the flexibility and transparency they need, whether it’s short- or long-term options, specialist racking and a full inventory management or condition report system. We provide your team with real-time visibility over everything in our care, so that items can be accessed and redistributed quickly, making our storage a practical, supportive operational tool rather than simply a holding facility.

Galleries rely heavily on trust, reputation, and mutually-beneficial relationships. Our specialists understand that discretion and professionalism are paramount when handling high-profile works, and we apply the standards that clients rightly expect, whether on site, in transit or at our storage facility. We apply the same care and commitment every single time.
