A charity auction has been helped by a free-of-charge delivery of artwork by FedEx.

FedEx Express, the world's biggest express delivery services firm, has delivered more than 100 rare works of art from around the world for an exhibition and charity auction.

The event, which was arranged by homeless charity Crisis and staged at Christie's auction house, saw some of the world's finest photographs from around the world transported to Somerset House in London.

Delivered free of charge by FedEx Express, sales of the photographs will raise money for Crisis in order to support its work with homeless people around the country.

"FedEx Express, as a trusted transporter of valuable goods, is privileged to have been responsible for transporting these artworks which have shown their social as well as financial value," said Adam Psarianos, vice-president of operations at FedEx Express Northern Europe.

It is further good work by FedEx Express, which last year provided call centre support for BBC's Children In Need appeal by 'donating' staff to man telephone lines.
