In 1944, cousins Lionel Lockhart and Harold Adamson became partners and formed Lockson, a new UK-based shipping company specializing in the shipment of goods
from the UK to worldwide locations. Shortly thereafter, they created a special service
to meet the needs of several American clients who came to the UK to purchase
antiques and required safe, reliable transport back to the US. The demand for this speciality grew quickly and Lockson's expertise expanded in kind.
After Harold Adamson's death in 1954, Lionel's wife Anne Lockhart became Company Secretary, and along with directors Peggy Griffiths and David Armitage, Lockson continued to thrive, becoming widely known for excellence in packing, shipping and storage of fine art and antiques. After Lionel's untimely death in 1987, Anne took over as Chairperson, which she remained until 1997. She appointed as joint Managing Directors her son Adam Lockhart, who had joined Lockson in 1976, and Bob King, who had been with the company since 1969. Lockhart and King developed a new business program aimed at expanding Lockson's client base and capabilities. In 2000, Adam ventured to the US to open a New York Area office. Karen Bagot, previously with The Packing Shop, joined Lockson NY in 2002. Today, Lockson's extensive knowledge, personal care and detailed attention |
