Glasgow, UK: World Refrigeration Day, taking place on 26 June 2021, aims to inspire people to consider careers in refrigeration and the cold chain.
Star Refrigeration is sponsoring the event World Refrigeration Day, which is particularly crucial now as the fight against Covid-19 relies on refrigeration to transport vaccines.
Rob Lamb, group sales and marketing director, Star Refrigeration said: “Awareness campaigns such as these are vital for our industry and as a company that supports apprentices, Star was keen to become a sponsor and support the title of this year’s campaign – Cooling Champions: Cool Careers for a Better World.”
“Celebrating the hard work of millions of people in the industry, whose vital job has been brought to light during the Covid-19 pandemic is important. It is with great pride we can announce we will be actively promoting and celebrating their achievements.”
With more than 15 million people employed in the refrigeration sector worldwide, this year’s theme will ensure World Refrigeration Day 2021 inspires the next generation of cooling champions in the form of designers, technician, sales, software developers, managers and consultants, encouraging them to meet the challenges faced in their communities.
The campaign also aims to inform and educate about the significant role the industry and its technology play in modern life and society with around 5 billion refrigeration, air-conditioning and heat-pump systems currently in operation worldwide. Those systems provide the conditions required for health, comfort, worker productivity, manufacturing, and essential environments for food, pharmaceuticals, and digital data.
“Star has employed additional members of staff in the past year to sustain our continued growth and to best support our customers during the pandemic. In supporting the World Refrigeration Day campaign, we want to create awareness of the many exciting job opportunities within our industry and encourage more people consider a career in the sector,” Lamb said.
World Refrigeration Day will bring businesses together in dozens of countries for a series of refrigeration-related activities and events, promoted online and through social media. The annual celebration on 26 June is held to mark the birthday of Lord Kelvin (b1824) who pioneered the international system of absolute temperature.
