The client base quickly grew by word of mouth in recognition of the service levels being offered and in September 1972 the company was registered as Momart Limited – an amalgam of Jim Moyes and new partner Rees Martin.
In 1985, Momart commissioned the UK's first fine art vehicle with temperature control and air ride suspension and carried out its first museum job on behalf of the Royal Academy – a Henry Moore exhibition.
From 1988 Momart expanded the services to include the international movement of artworks on behalf of both commercial and museum clients overseas.
In 2009 HMRC granted Momart the then-unique privilege amongst fine art transport companies to undertake all of its customs procedures in-house.
In 2011, Momart was certified as an Authorised Economic Operator (AEO), enabling the company to simplify customs bureaucracy and speed up passage within the EU for their clients.
According to the fire investigation report, the flames that caught between 1.45 am and 3.15 am that morning were started deliberately, after burglars broke into a unit located at the extreme south-western corner of the estate and leased to an individual business repairing consumer electronics.
[7] The blaze destroyed more than 100 works by some of Britain's leading contemporary artists including Tracey Emin, Damien Hirst, Sarah Lucas, Gary Hume, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Helen Chadwick and others.
A number of artists, in a joint action with several insurance firms, alleged negligence and pursued a legal case against Momart.
The complete series of Momart Christmas card is now part of the permanent collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Tate.
