A reputation for excellence with a truly personal touch.
We’re committed to art. From our modest beginnings in 1975 under the charismatic Jill Martin, the love of art has always been our underlying philosophy.
Our commitment to art is reflected in the concept we have chosen for our website, highlighting the talents of up-and-coming artists associated with Martinspeed and those we appreciate – click on the links for more details of all the art featured on our site.
Martinspeed has over 100 highly trained staff, many of whom have independently pursued qualifications in art, art history or art appreciation, all working at the highest level to ensure customer satisfaction. Based in the same headquarters for the past 25 years, we have three separate storage facilities, all within easy reach of central London. We specialise in the storage, packing and crating, installation, transport, bonded warehousing and import and export of fine art and luxury goods – any time, anywhere and at any scale. Our transport facilities are second to none, with a fleet of state-of-the-art vehicles, while our airport service offers special courier facilities with full air-side and tarmac supervision.
Responsive, discreet and renowned for our attention to detail, Martinspeed is constantly looking for new and appropriate ways of handling our clients’ art. Our business is more than simply moving something from A to B, it’s about trust, reliability and safeguarding that artwork while in our care.
Under the leadership of our Chairman, Simon Sheffield, and myself, the whole team is ready to meet your requirements.
