Coolair has £100,000 makeover

UK: Manchester-based air conditioning contractor Coolair Equipment has given its Dukinfield head office a £100,000 makeover.

The 38-year-old company has recently refurbished its Coolair House HQ building, where it has been based since 2006, to create an enhanced environment for staff and clients.

It has also taken occupancy of both floors of the two-storey building, having previously occupied only the first floor. The makeover has included an internal and full external refurbishment of the building.

A dedicated space on the first floor has been allocated to accommodate a new after-sales department that will go live later this summer.
