Your Antiques and Fine Art are in safe hands.
Small enough to care, large enough to cope.
About Us
The British Shop is headed by Simon Williams and Malcolm Disson, who both purchased the company in 2004. Their combined talents and strengths have impacted on the company and it now benefits from continued growth.
Simon Williams
Simon has experience in antiques and fine art, as well as the shipping industry. Simon trained in valuation and business practices, receiving a BA from Southampton University whilst working with several leading UK auction houses helping to organise specialist sales. He subsequently worked for two of London’s leading fine art shipping companies.
Malcolm Disson
Malcolm has over 15 years experience in shipping fine art and has managed numerous large specialist installation projects, from hotels and cruise ships to large country estates.
“Both of our philosophies are dedicated to providing a service second to none” says Simon. “We are fortunate enough to have an extensive client base, and we get a substantial amount of our new business from client recommendations, so we must be doing something right.”
“Our clients are busy people and they expect us to get it right every time” continues Malcolm. “Overseeing our three different locations can certainly be hectic, but don’t be surprised to see either Simon or myself out on one of the trucks in order to get a shipment delivered on time! From road crews to office based logistic support staff, we are all committed to providing a first class service.”
