Bespoke service
We are what we do – bespoke. We have experience of storing and shipping vehicles and equipment to every corner of the world, delivering a bespoke service to our customers through a network of global contacts.
Providing global support
Bespoke Handling has been established through a dedicated level of service and providing bespoke solutions to customers, handling specialist logistics and shipments of cars, spares and equipment to and from worldwide destinations – much of it in time-critical motorsport arenas, where there is no margin for error. Our reputation has been built on delivering results globally, and the safe and sympathetic handling of valuable cargo direct to our clients.

Gary Ayles
Managing Director
I have been involved in motor racing for most of my working life & am an active member of the BRDC. I have had a successful career in many formulas from single seaters in F3000, the BTCC Touring Car championship with Toyota & in sports cars with Ferrari, McLaren, Porsche & Chrysler including numerous outings at the Le Mans 24 hours.
Fabian Daffern
Operations Director
I have been managing and coordinating shipping and transporting of classic, vintage and racing cars and equipment around the world since 1990. I know just how important it is to have confidence that your car or valuables will arrive in perfect condition with no dramas en route. The service I provide is geared to your specific needs and I am here for you – 24/7, 365 days a year.
Jason Bartlett
Air & Sea Freight
I have worked in the freight industry for nearly a decade, and been responsible for shipping all different – and very varied – goods across the globe, via air and sea. From dangerous goods to pharmaceuticals, live animals to time-critical aircraft parts, ensuring airlines can continue to operate. Prior to this, I was working in the medical technologies industry.
As the transport and logistics industries evolve, in the post-Brexit economy, I have built a knowledge of customs practices, gaining knowledge in exports. I am currently working through training with the UK Customs Academy, and towards qualifications in customs practices and border management.
Mae Daffern
Air & Sea Freight
I started at Bespoke Handling in 2022, and now work in the Air & Sea Freight department. Coming from the equestrian sector, my experience is quite different, but it’s given me great organisational skills, and the ability to work under pressure. I’ve been interested in motorsport since childhood, and have a particular passion for Formula 1 and classic cars, that I’ve now combined with my work here. In my spare time, I love to walk my dog, Tilly, who is also the office mascot and our unofficial head of security.
