World Refrigeration Day News

24 May 2019

Why are we having a World Refrigeration Day on 26th June? The benefits of the services offered by refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pumps are not very well recognised by the general public. So the whole community is joining together to promote what our sector does for the world and show what great career opportunities are available. We need you, our members, to help make this a high profile day and tell the world how great the little understood world of refrigeration is!

If your company has a twitter or facebook account please make sure you post something on 26th June about your business and your people and what a fantastic contribution you are making.

Use Twitter #wrefd19, @worldrefday and @thecoolinghub to post pictures of your events and stories on the day
