“I’m very proud Interfrigo has been recognised nationally as leading the way in energy efficiency. During the Covid pandemic, we invested £7.1million in our multipurpose cold chain facility to cater for a wider range of customers and their specific needs. This included a 50,000 square foot extension to our facility, and we decided to reduce our energy consumption by converting to 100% renewable energy supply. We now have one of the most advanced facilities in the UK, supporting the local and national economy and we are very grateful to the people that supported us along the way, especially our team.”

 

The Cold Chain Federation represents temperature-controlled storage and distribution businesses across the UK. Cold Chain Federation Chief Executive Shane Brennan said:

The Cold Chain Federation is delighted to recognise and celebrate Interfrigo as a business that is leading the way, by presenting this Cold Chain Sustainability Award. The standard of entries in all categories was exceptionally high and we congratulate all those shortlisted as well as the winners for their important and industry-leading contributions towards tackling the challenges of climate change.”
