The pending festivities means more business for restaurants, pubs, hotels, and caterers. It also means more seasonal, external refrigeration solutions to account for the increased stock commercial kitchens will need to keep on hand. If you run a food service operation, have you thought about seasonal refrigeration yet? If not, try this for motivation: the average price of the cheapest Christmas meal has gone up an estimated 18% this year.

If we had a pound for every time a client told us they were not expecting to have need of emergency mobile refrigeration, there would be no need for us to stay in business. The reality is that no one expects emergencies. Thank goodness that Icecool Trailers is here to meet the needs of clients facing emergencies that could otherwise disrupt their businesses.

With the arrival of November comes the need to begin Christmas planning in earnest. If you run a restaurant, banquet hall, catering business, hotel or any other business that will see an influx of Christmas-related dining, now is the time to start putting in place those things you need to keep your customers happy. Temporary cold storage might be one of those things.

As a company with more than two decades experience in the portable refrigeration industry, we have seen it all. It is not unusual for a customer to call in need of a refrigerated trailer or walk-in chiller for purposes we never thought of. Indeed, there are a lot of things we keep refrigerated that people take for granted.

There is an emerging trend in temporary kitchen and dining space made possible by modular building construction. This trend is leading to the emergence of service providers who assist customers by providing them with temporary, modular buildings that accommodate the need for dining space. We believe fridge trailer hire is the perfect complement to modular dining.

Regular readers of our blog know that emergency refrigeration is not limited to protecting food. There are numerous industries that rely on refrigeration and freezing capacity for day-to-day operations. Businesses in any of these industries could be adversely affected by an emergency that took down cold storage capacity. For example, consider a small lab operating at Imperial College London. They rely on cold storage to keep their brain bank in operation.
