Making the Christmas Jumper cool

Staff at Leeds-based Airedale were once again top of the knits

UK: They are by far the coolest companies for the rest of the year, so it’s only right that for one day UK refrigeration and air conditioning companies support Christmas Jumper Day.

Friday’s annual Christmas Jumper Day gave workers from companies across the country the opportunity to don their most embarrassing Christmas-themed woollen creation in aid of Save the Children.

The day raises millions of pounds for the charity and the UK’s refrigeration and air conditioning companies were prominent in the “heats”.

Here’s a selection.
