These experts are entrusted with packing, transporting and delivering priceless heirlooms, artwork and furniture for HNW clients relocating within the UK and overseas. Others specialise in transporting yachts, supercars and prize racehorses.

Methodology
In selecting and ranking removals and shipping specialists, the Spear’s Research Unit conducts extensive research of the market, including interviews with well-informed observers, industry insiders and of course the advisers themselves. These take place both face-to-face, and on video and telephone calls. Candidates for inclusion are asked to fill in a form to provide data and a description of their work and client base. In finalising its selections and rankings, the Spear’s Research Unit employs a proprietary methodology that includes a weighted scoring system. This takes into account factors including an adviser’s standing, reputation, client base, recommendations and testimonials, the firm they represent, their level of engagement with the process and certain industry-specific criteria.
