02 Sep A Spotlight on our Fridge Department

Having worked hard to achieve a reputation for quality, innovation, and first-class customer service, we place a very important emphasis on only attracting and retaining specialist and talented individuals.

Our people are the key to our success and with this in mind, it is important to ensure that we invest in the best on-site facilities, training and upskilling of our teams, where possible. An important area of our production business is our Fridge Department.

Michael Greening, the Fridge Shop department Line Manager has been with Gray & Adams for almost 20 years, hitting the 20-year milestone in November. We spoke to Michael who has allowed us an insight into the Fridge Department at Fraserburgh.

Michael tells us,

“During my time at Gray & Adams, I have worked in various parts of the business, building up my knowledge and expertise, and leading me into my current position of Fridge Shop Line Manager. I am responsible for overseeing a team of 14 employees, consisting of skilled operators and apprentices. A typical day-to-day for me includes being responsible for ensuring that the correct fridge units are fitted in line with customer requirements and that all corresponding equipment such as trackers, recorders, solar panels and temperature gauges are fitted accurately.

 At Gray & Adams, our team of Piping Operators are qualified as certified F Gas users. This allows the team to braise pipework – connecting fridge units to evaporators and vacuuming out the system before letting the refrigerant gas in. The Gray & Adams innovation has allowed us to now work with hydrogen braising machinery which reduces the need to move heavy gas bottles within the workspace, which is more environmentally and user-friendly.Our team works incredibly hard to ensure that our client specifications are met, delivered on time and are of a high-quality standard.”
