ICS Cool Energy has sponsored 11 of its technicians to become Institute of Refrigeration (IoR) accredited, with membership grades ranging from affiliates through to associate members.
The Institute of Refrigeration is an information resource and forum for professionals in the refrigeration and air conditioning industry, with its network of members including technicians, engineers, and scientists. Membership applications are subjected to approval by a committee to ensure an applicant has sufficient experience, qualifications and a sponsor; and is committed to increasing their knowledge of refrigeration related technologies, for personal and industry benefit.
Members are given access to an extensive library of industry-related technical information, and member events to network, share best practice and skills, and ensure their knowledge is always up-to-date.
Technical manager at ICS Cool Energy, Brent Hall (pictured right), has also been elected as a Fellow of the Institute of Refrigeration, following many years’ involvement with the industry and the organisation’s national and regional structure.
He said: “Becoming a member of the Institute of Refrigeration is a key tool to enable ICS Cool Energy to continue supporting the development and expertise of our employees, and to help them to achieve the highest professional standards. In turn, we can then ensure this expertise is used to benefit our customers.
“It is important for our employees to keep apace of industry developments and new technologies, and we hope the membership will reassure our customers that they are dealing with professionals supported by a highly respected organisation for the industry.”
Steve Gill FInstR, President of the Institute of Refrigeration, added: “Membership of the Institute of Refrigeration demonstrates that individuals and companies are committed to being up-to-date with best practice, legislation, and latest developments within the refrigeration industry, and it is a great way for people in all sorts of different roles in the industry to network with like-minded professionals.”
