Farmfoods new
distribution centre
uses eco-friendly
refrigeration solution
Frozen food specialist Farmfoods has chosen cooling expert Star
Refrigeration to deliver an environmentally conscious refrigeration
package using zero carbon ammonia at their brand new facility in Bristol.
The new distribution centre will supply the southern retail stores and
requires exceptional efficiencies across a wide range of operating
conditions, as well as the capability to increase refrigeration capacity for
future potential requirements.
Major re-brand
for long-standing
technological business
A well-known Yorkshire business, with a
reputation spanning over 20 years, has
undergone a major re-brand following a period of growth and a change in
management.
Opentree, formerly tsaADVET, provides document management software for
sectors such as oil and gas, steel, manufacturing, rail and energy and is one of
the longest established businesses of its kind in the UK.
Andrew Frank has been involved with the business since its inception in 1992
and took over sole management in 2014 and now has full ownership.
Star Refrigeration, the largest independent cooling and heating contractor
in the UK, designed and installed two modular coldstore Azanechiller
packages and a chillstore Azanefreezer package, both with spare
refrigeration capacity to accommodate future additional load.
Since then, turnover has grown by almost 50% and Andrew has added five new
staff, now employing a team of 16, with plans to create five new jobs in the
coming months. In addition, Andrew has re-branded the business to ‘Opentree’
and launched a successful second office in Sheffield to cope with demand in
the area.
