Breaking the ice


B


y the time you read this, the judging and voting for the ACR News Awards will be done and the shortlist


announced.


This Awards event has celebrated excellence in the air conditioning and refrigeration industry for over twenty years, and has always endeavoured to recognise the projects, ideas and people that make this vital industry a success. Members of our industry consistently go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that the sector thrives.


The ACR News Awards is the perfect opportunity to come together and celebrate those that put their all into making outstanding products, completing ground-breaking projects and off ering invaluable customer service. This year has seen a plethora of entries in several categories which means that several entrants have not been shortlisted. But a disappointing as this is for those that haven’t made it, it’s a positive refl ection of how much more confi dence this industry has in its market than it has over the last few years.
