FETA celebrates 30th anniversary
THE 2014 FETA Annual Lunch, held at the Brewery in London on 10 April, marked the 30th anniversary of FETA becoming an official entity in the building services sector. FETA chairman Mike Nankivell’s keynote speech, highlighted the important work done under the FETA brand and the challenges to be faced in the future, to mark the occasion.
“The outcome of the F-Gas Review illustrates very well what a trade body can do,” said mr Nankivell. “We were never going to win on every point, but by being tenacious, by working with colleagues in other national and European organisations, and through our close ties with officials in DEFRA, FETA was able to influence the review to the benefit of its members.” FETA is the parent organisation of key trade
associations ADCAS, BCIA, BFCMA, BRA, HEVAC and HPA, and to celebrate FETA’s 30th anniversary, former Presidents of these associations as well as former employees of FETA were invited as special guests to the lunch. “In 1984, FETA was
established as a legal entity,” said Mr Nankivell. “In the time since, the federation has gone from strength to strength as a voluntary organisation, due to the commitment and personal participation of many individuals. They have exceeded the requirements of their paid employment and willingly given their time for the betterment of our industry.”
The lunch was well attended with over 600 people from industry. Martin Bayfield, ex- England Rugby Union player and presenter on Crimewatch, returned as guest speaker.
Andrews launches hire centre
ANDREWS SYKES Hire has opened a new service centre for its chiller and boiler hire range of equipment. The new service facilities provided by Andrews Chiller Hire and Andrews Boiler Hire will operate out of Andrews Sykes’ existing Grangemouth depot.
Recourse to emergency chiller or boiler hire can happen as a result of in-plant downtime due to a number of things such as component failure or equipment taken off-line for routine maintenance.
This type of equipment is also hired when existing plant cannot cope due to increased productivity or is unable to handle local ambient environments or additional short-term chilled storage is required.
The new service centre will mean that the division now operates from more than 24 depots across the
UK providing a solution to demanding short and long- term hire situations. Air-cooled chillers are available for hire in sizes up to 750kW and where there is demand for a higher rating, units can be connected in parallel.
Andrews Boiler hire is able to supply boiler equipment from 22kW to multi-megawatt packages.
“The new Grangemouth service centre was an important addition to our extensive list of service centres,” said Carl Webb, director of the Andrews Specialist Hire Division. “Engineers from Grangemouth will be able to uphold the company’s commitment of responding to a customers demand within four hours.
“The fast response means minimum plant downtime or help in maintaining a better working environment.”
