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.
Every autumn, Icecool Trailers publishes one or two blog posts encouraging our customers to begin preparing for the upcoming festive season as soon as possible. This year is no exception. In fact, a gradually improving economy and greater demand for fridge trailer rental makes it even more necessary to start planning from now.
Several news articles published this past spring described the good work of a well-known online supermarket that donated refrigerated vans to local food charities. What the company did was both honourable and very helpful to the charities in question. From our perspective though, their donation clearly demonstrates the difference between refrigerated van hire and trailer rental from Icecool Trailers.
