World Refrigeration Day
A tough year for essential workers
EVERY YEAR ON World Refrigeration Day the entire industry in Australia comes together to promote the essential nature of HVACR.
It is an industry that provides crucial services to provide health, safety, and comfort to millions of our places of work and rest, including our homes, businesses, hospitals, and schools. Pro- viding these services remains our core responsi- bility but the global pandemic in 2020 made it particularly challenging.
The industry had to adapt and overcome to continue to provide these essential services.
This ability and willingness to persevere is testament to the industry’s strength, driven by unity, grit, and collaboration.
The quiet workhorse which is the HVACR in- dustry doesn’t always command much atten- tion. But this year, more than ever, it is important to come together to celebrate what we do.
A key supporter of World Refrigeration Day every year is Reece which has a 100 year history
in Australia and is the proud owner of Actrol, Reece HVAC and Metaflex stores.
Reece customer lead for HVACR, Andrew El- lis, said the company is proud of the work it un- dertakes each day at its branches nationwide.
“Customers are the reason why we’re here and we stand behind them,” he said.
“We are extremely proud of the work our cus- tomers and branches do every day. World Refrig- eration Day allows us to show that and give back to our customers and our staff.”
Commenting on the many challenges of 2020, Ellis said Reece had to adapt to ensure custom- ers were still accommodated in an ever-shifting landscape.
“We had a strong focus on supporting our cus- tomers to help them continue to provide essen- tial work through COVID-safe practices in-store, online ordering through the maX app, and con- tactless pick-up and delivery,” Ellis said.
“So, this year, to support our HVACR profes-
It has been a tough year for the HVACR industry.
sionals and celebrate the essential services they provided in a challenging year we will be joining the celebrations on 26 June.
“On Friday, 25 June, everyone is welcome to drop in to their local Reece HVAC, Metalflex, or ACTROL branch to celebrate. But, if you are un- able to join us take a minute to feel proud for be- ing a part of this important industry.” ✺
