South West based freight forwarding company Isca Forwarding has launched a new specialist division, Isca Fine Art .
Established in 1981, Isca Forwarding has spent the last 35 years shipping consignments around the world. Over the last 10 years the company has seen a significant growth in demand from the Arts and Culture sector and already counts London based gallery Messums amongst its clients, as well as a range of artists from across the region.
Managing Director Jackie Evans, explains why the company decided to launch a dedicated offering to the sector:
Amos Lighting has swelled its ranks with the appointment of two new lighting sales consultants.
William Dicker and Jay Gater have joined the team at Exeter’s leading independent lighting specialist, bringing their own particular brands of expertise with them.
William, who grew up in Wales, previously worked at Sofa Workshop in Exeter’s Paris Street and has a wealth of sales experience. He said:
“I really enjoy working for a smaller company, which Sofa Workshop was for many years. Amos Lighting, of course, has the added benefit of being a family business.
