IFS helps Sculptor Brendan Hesmondhalgh to ship his work around the globe
International Freight Solutions have shipped a number of Brendan’s Sculptures around the world and earlier in November, we were approached to arrange the shipping of some ‘Hare sculptures’ to various locations around the world including Brazil, China, South Korea and the US.
Brendan Hesmondhalgh – Hesmondhalgh Sculpture is a contemporary figurative sculptor, celebrated for his unique ceramic & bronze sculptures of animals, handmade from slabs of clay or sculptural wax.
Hesmondhalgh began working on monumental pieces after gaining a number of public art commissions. In some of these sculptures he experimented with animals on plinths and geometric bases which intensified the creature’s stature and allows for a greater contrast. The surface remains a focused element that he continues to develop. Adding colour, directional and textural marks.
Hesmondhalgh has established a distinctive style that is notably recognised and collected worldwide.
The recipients of the Hare Sculptures were all individual winners of the ‘Lush Prize’ – The Lush Prize offers a global prize fund to support initiatives to end or replace animal testing – 2022 Prize – Lush Prize
The project will be one of the largest commercial production facilities in Europe to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel made from waste.
Despite aggressive blanking that has reduced weekly capacity on the tradelanes by more than a third, the lines have failed to slow the precipitous fall in short-term rates and, are arguably fuelling the fire by offering sub-economic spot rates via their digital platforms.
The UK has signed up to a ‘green corridors’ agreement alongside Norway, the Netherlands and the United States to bring about zero-emission shipping routes between these countries.
