Royal Treatment

Having worked with the world’s most influential private clients, designers and concierges, Queen’s offer a first-class relocation and logistics service. L-J Andrew meets their expert team

Through generations and over time, people can build up a treasured collection of possessions for their homes, many of which can also have huge sentimental value too. It’s not unduly surprising therefore, that when it comes to moving, a high priority is placed on ensuring that those possessions are handled with the utmost care.

Queen’s is a, highly discreet, specialist logistics and relocations company, working to the highest standards in transporting fine art, precious items and collectibles across the globe. Head of Operations, Tom Wood, says 'the company have installed everything from priceless Monet paintings in drawing rooms, to transporting larger-than-life sculptures between client's residences; our technicians have even installed a mammoth skeleton in a client’s hallway, for example.'

The white glove packing service is all part of the client offering. When relocating a client, the expert team, as standard, will even unpack and organise all items within a client’s new property. When asked about a recent relocation, Tom recalls a client who was relocating a family from Hong Kong to a large country estate in the UK, installing over 100 works of art in the process.

Of course, the scope of services provided by Queen's varies, depending on the scale and speed of a client's move but what's clear is that the team manage the end-to-end process of a move from collection to delivery and, for those client's relocating internationally, Queen’s dedicated team are on hand to handle all customs paperwork, as well as arranging for long- or short-term storage within their specialist secure storage facility.

What's more, Queen’s can even recommend the most tax efficient option for importing and exporting precious items, dealing with client’s individual circumstance on a case-by-case basis.

If, for example, when importing a large collection of antique furniture, a client then discovers that there is no longer a requirement for the furniture in their new residence, Queen’s can arrange for storage in their bonded warehouse. Whilst every move is unique, what's clear is that that there's no moving & logistics service to rival that of Queen's.
