The search for the RACHP’s brightest stars is well underway and nominations for the Ted Perry and J&E Hall awards will be closing mid-October.
One of the highlights of the sector’s annual calendar, the IOR Awards distinguish deserving members of our industry in various categories and career stages. The Ted Perry Award for Student Excellence rewards young bright minds by recognising creative post graduate student who have undertaken an exceptional research project solving a practical issue. The prestigious J&E Hall Gold Medal is an internationally respected award given to an individual or team considered to have made the most noteworthy contribution to the advancement of refrigeration and related technologies.
The winner of the Ted Perry Award receives a £1,000 prize while the recipient of the J&E Hall Medal is awarded a £5,000 prize.
