Leeds, UK, March 3, 2009 -
Airedale came close to clinching the Air Conditioning Product of the Year in the ACR News Awards 2009 after being nominated as a finalist with the TurboChill.
The star-spangled event which took place on Wednesday night 25th February 09 at the Birmingham Motorcycle Museum was attended by more than 500 of the latest and greatest in the air conditioning and refrigeration industry.
Paparazzi-style photographers were out in force on the red carpet, snapping guests as they arrived in a succession of coaches and taxis. Members of Airedale’s product development and sales teams represented Airedale on the night and, with the other guests present, were entertained by the shoulder-shaking genius of TV comic, Mock the Week's Hugh Dennis.
Says Airedale UK sales director Paul Oliver: “Although we did not win, we should congratulate ourselves on being one of just five nominees short listed out of nearly 100 entries in the Air Conditioning Product of the Year category. Airedale’s successful nomination further endorses the TurboChill as a state-of-the-art, innovative and highly efficient product.”
