Incoming Institute of Refrigeration President Stephen Gill has joined the technical team at the Building Engineering Services Association (BESA).
He brings more than 40 years’ experience in refrigeration, air conditioning, and heat pumps (RACHP) to the Association, with a particular focus on supporting the industry’s primary F-Gas register, REFCOM.
Gill will also contribute to BESA’s work with government, international organisations, and industry stakeholders, alongside supporting the development of technical guidance and industry best practice for RACHP contractors.
BESA technical director Kevin Morrissey said: “We are delighted to welcome Steve to our team. He is well known across the sector for his technical knowledge, industry leadership, and ability to help organisations navigate complex technical and regulatory challenges in a practical and commercially workable way.
“His appointment further strengthens BESA’s support for the RACHP sector during a period of rapid technological and legislative change.”
Stephen Gill said: “I’m looking forward to supporting BESA and REFCOM at an important time for the RACHP sector. The industry is facing rapid change in skills, refrigerants, heat pumps, energy efficiency, and compliance, so there is real value in helping to translate technical and regulatory developments into practical guidance that supports contractors and end users alike.
“BESA has an important role to play in supporting standards, competence, and collaboration across the sector, and I’m pleased to be joining a team that is committed to those goals.”
