Fine Art

Abels Moving Services offers a comprehensive service for the movement of fine arts, antiques and museum exhibits in the United Kingdom, Europe and overseas.

One of the UK’s leading moving companies, Abels evolved from an auctioneering background and has maintained an innovative and sympathetic approach to the requirements of private collectors and the museum and commercial gallery worlds. We care about works of art.

We are able to meet the conditions specified by the Museums & Galleries Commission for the movement of exhibits to and from museums and art galleries.

Services are offered on a modular basis – clients are able to select which aspects they require from the handling of priceless works of art to straight forward movement of gallery fixtures and fittings. We offer a “turnkey” service that covers transportation, crating, packing, shipping and storage.

Every client is allocated a project manager, nominated customer liaison personnel, operatvie crew (all nominated, fully trained and security cleared), plus packers, case-makers and warehouse technicians as required. All work is audited by our full time Quality Manager. Every member of staff takes part in an on-going programme of personnal development at our training centre to maintain our high company standards. Many staff hold professional qualifications and have considerable experience in moving high-value items.
