JD Cooling joins last hurrah

UK: Lynn-based refrigeration contractor JD Cooling Group joined other local supply chain companies last night in the last clap for key workers at King’s Lynn’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

The liveried vehicles of members of the Lincolnshire chapter of the UK Fresh Produce Network (UK FPN), a network of fresh produce companies, drove from Spalding to King’s Lynn to deliver high class fresh fruit and flower bouquets to the QE Hospital staff.

Freshlinc trailer 871, which led the procession, has become well known across the region leading the ‘clap’ at a number of hospitals on Thursday evenings, bringing a smile and joining together key workers to say thank you. 

The JD Cooling Group is a leading independent supplier of bespoke state-of-the art cooling, HVAC, ripening, industrial refrigeration, power, control systems and specialist services – doors, barriers and specialist cleaning for the food industry.
