World Refrigeration Day is coming up on the 26th of June and the team behind this special day have announced this year's theme: Next Generation Cooling: The Future is in our hands.
World Refrigeration Day is an international day held annually to raise awareness about the importance of refrigeration technologies in everyday life and to raise the profile of the refrigeration, air-conditioning and heat-pump sector - we think that's plenty to celebrate!
We're getting behind this year's theme by offering you and your team the chance to win an office shout worth $150 - just fill out this form here by COP Thursday 29 June, and tell us one thing that could be done or changed in your industry to support the next generation of cooling.
