Specialist Refrigeration Division Formed
PAR002_123
Since 1992, MCFT has been servicing commercial kitchens, looking after both ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ equipment – in basic terms, ovens and fridges.
The technicians employed by MCFT are arguably the best trained in the business, with a combination of manufacturer training, customer service skills and industry accreditations. Since 2017, the 2 year training programme for technicians has been City & Guilds assured.
Engineers have always been assigned to either refrigeration or catering so that they can focus on the specific skills needed to do the job and take the necessary qualifications. In a move to raise awareness of the specialist skills of the engineers, the Refrigeration Division has been created, headed up by Mark Hockley who has been with MCFT since 2014. Mark says:
“People often associate MCFT with ovens and cooking equipment, but there is a whole world out there of businesses reliant on fridges and freezers that we are very capable of handling. We already attract great catering trainees, and we hope that by separating out our two core skills, we will appeal to fridge technicians looking for a career, rather than simply a job. Our engineers are second to none, and we’d like to see ourselves as the employer of choice for any ambitious fridge professional.”
Refrigeration branded vans are now out on the road, featuring the ‘ice crystal’ logo to distinguish them from the ‘fire and ice’ logo that illustrates the two sides of the business.
