dpac UK Ltd was awarded Ferroli SpA’s ‘best performing overseas distributor award’ for 2010. The prestigious award was presented to dpac UK staff at the recent annual distributor meeting held in Frankfurt.

The recognition was based on a dramatic sales increase in addition to the high level of commercial services offered to the UK chiller market on behalf of Ferroli. Edoardo de Pantz Ferroli’s Export Manager commented ‘dpac’ have provided us with an approach not seen before within a local market. The level of commitment from dpac to both Ferroli and their clients is represented in their dramatic increase in turnover with ourselves and the award is well deserved’.

2nd year refrigeration apprentices are required to complete a refrigeration installation and fully commission the system along with electrical fault finding on the system. As it happens all of the apprentices in the refrigeration section of the competition are from SERC (South Eastern Regional College) Lisburn Campus as this is the only recognised training centre for refrigeration in Northern Ireland.

The refrigeration section was won by Ciaran Weir of Principal Cooling Ltd, runner up was Anthony Bradley of Montgomery Refrigeration and third place went to Christopher Wilson of Shilliday Refrigeration Ltd. This section of the competition was managed by Terry Nickels of SERC who is also the principle Refrigeration Lecturer within the College.

George Tinsley commented, “dpac Ireland is proud to be involved in this competition which is an excellent event for all trades and Colleges within Northern Ireland to showcase the best up and coming professionals in the Construction Sector and I would like to congratulate all of the students who competed in the event.”

The winners from this competition will now progress to the National Finals in the UK and possibly advance to the World Skills finals in 2013.
