Beijer Ref opens Glasgow training facility
10th November 2025
UK: Lord William Haughey OBE, Chair of City Facilities Management Ltd officially opened the new Glasgow Beijer Ref training facility last week.
The new facility at 140 St Andrews Road in Glasgow, boasts an extensive range of sustainable heating and cooling training rigs, with a training room dedicated to renewable technology including CO2 and A2L systems and a heat pump training area covering the latest heating products.
The launch forms part of the wholesale group’s ambition to offer convenient top-level training to engineers across the UK by building on the success of its existing academies, which include two air conditioning training centres, an industrial refrigeration academy and an F-gas/sustainable solutions academy in Wetherby.
“Our aim is to provide engineers with the training they need, where they need it. The ultimate target is for no engineer to be more than two hours away from expert guidance,” said Beijer Ref UK & Ireland MD Hayley Cattell.
More than 50 people attended the opening event, with most taking the opportunity to book discounted training courses on the day.
Available industry courses include:
F-gas Category 1
Introduction to CO2 as a refrigerant
Installing & commissioning CO2 condensing units
Basic refrigeration electrics & safe isolation
Hydrocarbon & flammable refrigerants
Basic introduction to industrial refrigeration.
