23427469_s-2

The Cooling Post offices will remain open throughout the forthcoming Christmas and New Year break to ensure you are kept up to date with the latest news and events in the industry.

However, due to office and factory shutdowns around the world, publishing dates for the twice-weekly Cooling Post Newsletter will alter slightly.

The Newsletter will mail as usual on Monday December 21, then publish again on Wednesday December 23, instead of the usual Thursday publication date..

The Cooling Post Newsletter will mail just once the following week, on Wednesday, December 30, before returning to its regular Monday and Thursday publication dates in the week beginning January 4.

If you are not yet a subscriber, simply fill in the subscription form in the right-hand column of this page. Subscribing to the Cooling Post Newsletter is completely free and we will not sell, hire, lend or loan your details to any other third party.

The Cooling Post would like to wish those on holiday a very happy and peaceful time and, to all, an extremely healthy and prosperous New Year.
