Seventy-five giant Peter Rabbit sculptures will be safely transported across Worcestershire after a local logistics company signed up to support St Richard’s Hospice’s 2027 art trail.
Britannia Dynamic Logistics, a Hindlip-based freight company, has signed up as one of two logistics partners for the St Richard’s Hospice project.
They will make sure all 75 Peter Rabbit™ sculptures are transported to and from the farewell and auction events.
This is the company’s second time supporting the hospice’s art trails following the Waddle of Worcester, which featured penguin sculptures.
Phil Schiaffino, managing director at Britannia Dynamic Logistics, said: “While our expertise lies in managing imports and exports globally, transporting penguins was a first for us in 2024.
“We absolutely loved helping ensure the hospice huddle was well cared for on its travels and went on to raise vital funds for St Richard’s care across Worcestershire.
“We’re looking forward to doing it all again in summer 2027 once the trail is live and hope Peter Rabbit and his friends will be equally well behaved on their journeys with us.
“Most importantly of all, giving our time to St Richard’s means they can focus their funds on what matters most – the care of patients and loved ones.
“We’re very proud to be a trail logistics partner once again.”
St Richard’s Hospice is still seeking a second logistics partner to help move the sculptures on to the trail by July 12, 2027, and remove them again by September 5, 2027.
Sara Matthews, business development manager at St Richard’s Hospice, said: “We’re so thankful to have Britannia Dynamic Logistics by our sides once again as the live trail logistics partner.
“We know our fluffle are in in very safe hands with their team.
“We’re still looking for support from another local business or businesses to help our large rabbits, and their concrete plinths, reach their nesting points ready for the trail and to ensure their safe return afterwards.”
