Editing Momart (section)

=== Early days ===

The company set up its first office on Richmond Road, Hackney in East London and continued to grow organically – moving art, painting gallery walls, making frames and cases, hanging paintings, slinging sculpture and providing art storage. By 1985 Momart had gained a solid reputation amongst the commercial galleries and artists and started to introduce its credentials to the public sector such as the [[Victoria and Albert Museum|Victoria & Albert Museum]], the [[National Gallery]], [[Tate]], [[Royal Academy of Arts|Royal Academy]] and other UK based art institutions.

In 1985, Momart commissioned the UK's first fine art vehicle with temperature control and air ride suspension and carried out its first museum job on behalf of the Royal Academy – a [[Henry Moore]] exhibition. Momart was by then able to undertake all of the transport handling requirements completely in-house, including making site visits to the individual lenders where required, case making, transport of the empty cases to the lenders, pack on site and delivery of the case loan to the borrower.
