Heuch Refrigeration

Meet Steve Oakley, the managing director of Heuch Refrigeration and winner of the 2016 Innovator of the Year Award.

Oakley recently commenced commercialisation of the world's first 100 per cent solar powered refrigeration containers, a project that was central to winning this year's award.

Oakley first began the project in 2005.

“The time wasn't quite right then. The project worked technically but it wasn't commercially viable,” Oakley said. 

“Now its the right time, the right people, the right product and a bit of luck.

After judging a record number of entries, Climate Control News (CCN) today announced finalists in all six categories of the 2016 HVACR Leadership Awards.

CCN editor, Sandra Van Dijk, said judging was particularly difficult due to the high standard of entries.

“Fortunately I had judging support from an industry veteran, RACCA president, Kevin O'Shea, who made the entire process so much easier,” she said.
