UK: Tony Williams of Cool Solution Refrigeration was re-elected chairman of the Refrigeration, Air Conditioning & Heat Pump (RACHP) Group at the recent B&ES specialist groups’ agm.

The event at London’s Trinity House also saw Bob Lane of Roperhurst re-elected as chairman of the Ductwork Group (DWG).

In his address, B&ES president Bruce Bisset highlighted the central role that the specialist groups play in the life and work of the Association – an importance that was underlined by the fact that more than 70% of the B&ES membership enjoyed at least one group affiliation.

The president went on to welcome the launch of the new edition of the B&ES Specification for Sheet Metal Ductwork (DW144), which he described as “one of the most distinguished, authoritative and widely used of all the standards and good practice guides published by the Association”.

He also took the opportunity to pay tribute to B&ES council member Graeme Fox on his completion of a four-year term as president of AREA.
