This accolade, sponsored by ACR Journal, is designed to recognise the contribution made by those who have spent a career as a service, installation or maintenance engineer working on any air conditioning, refrigeration, or heat pump equipment.

Employers, clients, and colleagues are all invited to submit nominations for worthy candidates who must possess at least 15 years of experience in a technician-level capacity and still be actively engaged in the industry. Shortlisted contenders will be invited to take part in a phone interview to discuss their professional journey and expertise.
The winner will be announced at the IOR Annual Dinner on 22 February in London and will receive a £400 prize, an engraved trophy, and an official certificate
