This week saw the launch of an online timed auction featuring many items from the trophy and memorabilia collection of German tennis legend Boris Becker which is being run by asset auction specialists Wyles Hardy with PACK & SEND as their preferred shipping partners. As the UK’s largest specialist packing and shipping business, PACK & SEND were top seeds to take on the role of handling the careful packing and secure delivery of these unique lots which include trophies and certificates awarded at Wimbledon, the US Open, Davies Cup and the Olympics. The Becker collection is not the first time that the PACK & SEND team have worked on a major sporting auction as they have previously packed and safely distributed the assets of the Caterham and Manor F1 racing teams where thousands of lots were shipped to buyers across the globe including steering wheels, tyres, pit lane kit, engineering equipment, computers and IT units and even complete racing cars. Most PACK & SEND service centres are operated by licensed franchisees and offer a unique range of packing and shipping services for both businesses and private customers. Their high-quality packing options range from regular boxes to bespoke cartons to custom-made crates – making them perfect for moving fragile and valuable items such as artwork, electronics and memorabilia! Whilst their road, air and sea-freight services provide delivery of virtually anything to over 80000 destinations worldwide. Attractive franchise territory opportunities exist across the UK to further enhance the PACK & SEND network and, with initiatives such as this auction, ever growing demand for their safe-shipping services and a recent £multi-million sales and job management system implementation, there has never been a better time to join this unique business.

How do you get a Dalek to Portugal? ‘Who’ knows – but as they are the sworn enemy, The Doctor isn’t letting on! So it’s a good job our Manchester Salford Quays service centre were up to the challenge when a huge Doctor Who fan bought this ‘full-size’ replica Dalek at auction for his Portuguese home. Whilst Daleks can fly, this one travelled by road in a custom-made crate to avoid any risk of extermination in transit. At close to two metres tall and large enough for a person to get inside, the packing proved a major challenge and the team did start to feel that having the services of a TARDIS – with virtually unlimited internal space – would be helpful! Whilst this Dalek has fully functioning antennae and viewing turret, it is short of the infamous (and somewhat scary) voice box that makes these formidable machines so recognisable. But the new owner has this in hand and the Dalek will be finding its voice when it arrives abroad. Our customer is not the only new recruit of the Dalek owners club as this was a single lot in an auction of one the biggest Dalek collections in the world. The entire horde was going to auction as the collector had passed away – unfortunately before achieving his ambition to amass the largest collection of all.

PACK & SEND, the UK’s largest specialist packer and international shipper, is pleased to announce that it has been chosen to undertake the secure distribution of the assets of Caterham F1 Racing. Following the Formula One team entering administration in October 2014, the administrators appointed Wyles Hardy & Co to handle the sale who, in turn, selected PACK & SEND as their preferred packing and shipping partner. The equipment for sale includes everything from the cars themselves to wheels, tyres and other car parts, simulators, office equipment, IT kit, engineering equipment, memorabilia and specialist pit lane equipment. The assets will be sold in a number of auctions which will run through March, April and May. The first sale, which is taking place on 11th and 12th March 2015 will contain the race and pit lane equipment. PACK & SEND will manage the packing and shipping of all the lots to the required destinations across the world after each of the auctions have taken place. The huge scale of the project is a great demonstration of the size of jobs that PACK & SEND can handle and they will be coordinating the activity centrally at their Reading headquarters with the work being carried out across a number of their sites. Commenting on the successful contract win, Mike Ryan, Chief Executive of PACK & SEND, said: “We are delighted to have been selected to pack and ship the assets of Caterham F1. It is not only a great example of how our exemplary levels of service win us new business through customer referral but also the breadth and flexibility of solutions that we can provide as we could end up packing and shipping anything from an F1 car to a steering wheel to a hospitality trailer.” Matt Hardy, Director at Wyles Hardy & Co, added: “When deciding on who to appoint to pack and ship the items, PACK & SEND was recommended to us because of its specialist experience in transporting fragile, large and valuable items – especially internationally. This experience together with its highly flexible and personal service means that we believe the items will be in good hands.” About PACK & SEND PACK & SEND offers a complete range of postal, freight, courier, packing and removal services operating through a growing retail network. Founded in 1993, the first PACK & SEND Store was founded in Parramatta, NSW, Australia. The business has expanded over the past 21 years from the one store and is rapidly becoming a global brand.
