ICS Cool Energy Strengthens its Hire Division with a Cold Store Dedicated Team

ICS Cool Energy, an international market leader specializing in complete temperature control solutions for manufacturing processes and facilities applications, announced today the expansion of its Hire Division with a management team dedicated to cold stores.

The team of engineering specialists that will manage the UK largest fleet of low to ultra-low-temperature containerised cold store solutions is:

• Ralph Howes, Cold Store Major Accounts Manager
• Lisa Townsley, Cold Store Business Development Manager South
• Kayla Shaw, Cold Store Business Development Manager North
• Mike Elver, Cold Store Senior Sales Engineer.

“The experience and knowledge of the cold storage industry brought by this team will allow them to deliver the support and expertise our customers expect from ICS Cool Energy,” said Andy Delday-Roberts, UK Sales Manager Hire at ICS Cool Energy. “ICS Cool Energy is known for its capability to deploy hire units within 24 hours to existing customers and for the backup and service from experienced engineers. Bringing long-standing experience, our cold store team will ensure our customers are in good hands and receive solutions that precisely fit their needs and help them run their operations efficiently and effectively.”

ICS Cool Energy cold store container units can be used in Food and Beverage, Pharmaceutical, Warehouse and other industries, where raw or finished products require temporary or long-term temperature-controlled storage to preserve or increase shelf life. Cold stores can add storage space and deliver high cooling capacity in combination with precise temperature control from fresh to deep frozen, even in the most severe applications with high ambient temperatures, frequent door openings and long running hours. The units can be also applied in R&D applications, where a temperature-controlled environment is required to enable Accelerated Life Testing (ALT) of critical components.

ICS Cool Energy temperature-controlled containers are available in 10ft, 20ft and 40ft lengths and feature tried and tested refrigeration technology from Thermo King, a leader in transport temperature control solutions. The units can be plugged in the 360-500 Volt 50 or 60 Hz power supply to ensure cold or frozen temperatures in the container.

Designed originally for global seagoing reefer applications, ICS Cool Energy containers have features that suit them as static cold stores. They are washable with wash-down drains, have man-trapped person alarms, lighting inside emergency escape release and conform to B.R.C. audit standards. The units can also be adapted to meet customer needs with options including telematics, remote monitoring, and a Controlled Atmosphere. Customers can also benefit from a modular approach, where multiple cold stores, joined together without connecting walls, can be linked with buildings without time-consuming engineering, groundworks, or long planning permission process.

Ralph Howes has worked in asset rental for 25 years, with the last 15 dedicated to portable cold stores, blast freezers and modular temperature-controlled buildings. Proving solutions for storage, manufacturing, and test facilities throughout the UK.

Kayla Shaw has worked in sales for almost 16 years and has been in the refrigeration and cold stores industry for just under two years. From her time in the modular construction industry, Kayla brings a wealth of knowledge of modular complex designs that can also be applied to cold stores.

Lisa Townsley has joined ICS Cool Energy from our sister company Trane UK. Lisa brings over seven years of experience in the refrigeration rental sector on top of several years of knowledge of the health, safety and compliance industry.

Mike Elver has been with ICS Cool Energy for over six years, and brings over 20 years of experience in the HVAC hire industry. Mike has full appreciation of the demand levels for planned and emergency hire having served various high-level roles and managing major national accounts across the UK including manufacturing, telecoms, retail and major event management companies.
