TF Solutions becomes Elite Supplier

UK: Refrigeration and air conditioning wholesaler TF Solutions has become the latest addition to the Refcom Elite Supplier scheme.

Refcom Elite is a best practice company registration scheme that has been running since 1994 to promote environmentally responsible refrigerant management and compliance with the latest industry legislation.

TF Solutions is the latest distributor to join the audited and accredited scheme following the enlargement of Refcom Elite, last year, to encourage the entire supply chain to get involved. 

Head of Refcom Graeme Fox said the Elite Supplier scheme was set up so that responsible suppliers could help ensure that only properly qualified and registered companies were accessing refrigerant gas and equipment in line with the F-gas regulation.

“This scheme means suppliers have a way of demonstrating that they have signed up to a voluntary code of conduct that will level the playing field across the supply chain,” said Fox. “This will also free up resources so the enforcing authorities are better able to police and clamp down on irresponsible online or unscrupulous sales to non-registered installers.”

He said TF Solutions was a welcome addition to this “exclusive club” who had demonstrated to Refcom’s independent inspector that they were working to the highest standards.

“TF Solutions has always focused on providing our customers with the best service; so we felt that it was only right that we, as a leading national wholesaler, should participate and uphold the highest values and standards,” commented TF Solutions’ commercial director Andy Reed.

Established in 2001, TF Solutions has experienced significant levels of growth and now operates out of six branches in the North, Midlands and South of England.
