Cadogan Tate Group

What Cadogan Tate Group does

Cadogan Tate Group is a London-headquartered specialist logistics company founded in 1977 that provides handling, crating, packing, climate-controlled storage, shipping, installation, and insurance services for fine art, high-value interiors, and premium residential relocations. Its product portfolio is organized around five core service lines (Fine Art Logistics, Interior Design Solutions, Private Client & Premium Residential, Yacht Services, and specialized Storage including Fine Art, Interiors, Clothing, and Bonded) and is delivered through 12+ offices across the UK, France, and the United States, supported by more than 20 scheduled shuttle routes, an owned climate-controlled vehicle fleet, and in-house crate shops. The underlying technology layer is a proprietary Client Portal that provides clients with real-time photographic inventory, virtual carton views, archived reference photography, and service-request tracking, complemented by a proprietary barcode tracking system across storage facilities; the platform is not exposed as a public API.

The company operates a project-based, quote-driven professional services revenue model with custom pricing determined after complimentary surveys, billed against multi-year contracts with high-net-worth individuals, galleries, museums, auction houses, interior designers, and yacht owners. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with dedicated account managers and project partners handling each engagement from enquiry through installation, supplemented by presence at industry events such as Art Basel Miami and a multi-channel content marketing effort (website, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, insights blog, email newsletter). Acquisition by TSG Consumer Partners in May 2022 provided private equity capital that has funded an aggressive roll-up strategy, with eight completed acquisitions — including Art Logistics Ltd, Jayhawk Fine Art Transport, Aston Spinks, Lifting Access Solutions, Lawrence Fine Art, Artemis Fine Arts Services, White Glove Storage & Delivery, Olde Towne Moving & Storage, Trefethen & Co & Bader & Olson, and Fully Loaded Deliveries — expanding geographic reach and adding specialist capabilities such as heavy-sculpture installation, GPS-tracked air-ride transport, and hurricane-resistant Florida storage. The current Group CEO is Ben Clark, appointed February 2025.
