The new South West and South Wales Refrigeration Society was officially launched earlier this month during an Institute of Refrigeration Cool Talk Breakfast Briefing. With over 35 participants at the launch meeting it has generated a lot of interest with many talking enthusiastically about future plans for the society. The programme for the event offered a good variety of topics with updates on refrigerants and developments in air conditioning technology. The Society aims to provide local networking meetings and technical talks to appeal to a wide range of interests in the sector whether you work in refrigeration, in air-conditioning or with heat pumps.
If you would like to become involved with the South West and South Wales Refrigeration Society, or set up a local group in your area please contact the IOR at ior@ior.org.uk.

BESA, on behalf of the Engineering Building Services Skills Authority (EBBSA,) are setting up Sector Groups (SG’s) in occupations within Building Services. The SG’s purpose is to bring employers within specific occupation groups together to determine the roles that exist within that occupational area, thereafter determine a competency framework for these roles. The IOR is pleased to be invited to support this work and to help co-ordinate outputs with its own plans to map skills needs and roles in the RACHP sector.
