London-based fine art logistics company Momentous has announced the appointment of Paul Norman as its general manager.

Paul has over 12 years’ experience in fine art logistics, having worked for some of the industry’s leading providers. Prior to joining Momentous, Paul held the position of general manager at The British Shop where he developed its fine art shipping business and took a leading role in building its international operations.

Paul will focus on the development of the company’s fine art, storage, shipping and installation business to support its private and corporate client base.

Paul said, “It is a fantastic opportunity to join Momentous.  Over the years I have seen the company grow in popularity with collectors, dealers, designers and museums.  My plans are ambitious and I am looking forward to building on the existing Momentous business capabilities to make it a first choice when it comes to selecting a specialist fine art shipping and installations company.”
