IDS celebrates 20 years

Managing director, Allan Harper (left) celebrates with Dehon director Pascal Dehon

UK: IDS Climalife staff celebrated the 20 year anniversary of IDS Refrigeration in January, hosting a celebratory dinner at Cadbury House just outside Bristol.

Staff were joined by the full Climalife Dehon directorship team including brothers Pierre-Ettiene and Pascal Dehon who each shared their words of thanks for the excellent company performance, motivation and teamwork over the last 20 years, and their support for continued growth in the future.

“Working together we have a great future ahead of us,” said Pascal Dehon. “Time has gone so fast and we’ve seen spectacular growth,” added Pierre-Ettiene.

Founded in 1998, IDS Refrigeration Ltd originated from a joint venture between Rhodia and its European distributor, the Dehon Group.

Times have changed since then; having sold just three different refrigerants in 1998, the company now stocks well over 30.
