  The customer:
  Northumbria University is an academic institution located in Newcastle upon Tyne with excellent links with further and higher education, industry, and commerce throughout the UK, Europe, and beyond. The university is also committed to being an ethical and sustainable organisation. Notable alumni include two-time Olympic Gold Medal-winning cyclist Victoria Pendleton, 16-time Grammy award-winning musician Sting and Rugby World Cup winner Jonny Wilkinson.
  The challenge:
  The transportation of the students’ work requires the highest level of care and professionalism. The items are often fragile, unique, and one-off items that culminate from three years of hard work by the students. As with all events management, transportation must be slick and time-definite.

  Through building a complete understanding of the customer and the annual fashion event, OSE has developed reliable and trusted logistics solutions for Northumbria University. The utmost care is taken with the handling, loading and unloading of fragile goods by OSE’s experienced and proficient drivers. In addition, all vehicles are equipped with rails for hanging garment requirements.
  The result:
  Northumbria University is renowned for producing the best emerging talent in the fashion industry, winning countless national and international awards and with a strong population of alumni working at big industry brands such as Burberry, Aquascutum, MaxMara and Pringle. By providing specialist logistics services for the Graduate Fashion Week, OSE has helped the students showcasing their talents to a wider audience and will continue to do so in the future.
