A temporary solutions specialist has further consolidated its position within the refrigeration sector with a key team member joining an industry-leading organisation.

Matt Watson, Aggreko’s Manufacturing & HVAC Sector Sales Manager for the UK and Ireland, has joined the Institute of Refrigeration (IoR) as a full member. His membership to the institute marks a recognition of his position as a responsible industry professional and the depth of his knowledge on cooling equipment solutions.

Speaking on his membership, Matt said: “I’m extremely proud to have been awarded full membership to such a historic organisation. The Institute of Refrigeration is the foremost authority for those working in HVAC and refrigeration, so I am looking forward to taking advantage of the wealth of cutting-edge research and information I now have access to.”

The IoR is a membership association for recognised industry professionals working in the fields of refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pumps. The organisation is a leading source of information for those employed in these sectors, with an ever-growing library of reports, technical publications and best practice guides available to members.

In order to gain full membership, prospective applicants must be able to demonstrate considerable theoretical knowledge, significant experience within a management role and 10 or more years total within the sector. As a member, Matt hopes to use the IoR’s resources to help steer Aggreko through the ongoing legislative changes facing the cooling industry.

Matt continued: “The refrigeration sector is facing somewhat of a sea-change as of late. In the last few years, we’ve seen the accelerated timetable for the phase down of F-gases come into play, which has had enormous ramifications for the wider industry.

“With access to the Institute of Refrigeration’s publications and network of specialists, I feel I could not be better placed to lead Aggreko’s HVAC sector at this time. I will continue to use my knowledge for the betterment of both myself and Aggreko, and look forward to what my membership will bring.”
