National wholesaler TF Solutions has become the latest addition to the REFCOM Elite Supplier scheme. Part of the BSS Group, which is a BESA affiliate member, TF Solutions joins just as REFCOM is celebrating receiving the Industry Initiative of the Year award at the ACR News Awards for the scheme. The refrigeration and air conditioning distributor is the latest supplier to be audited and accredited as an Elite Supplier in line with REFCOM’s ambition to encourage all parts of the supply chain to voluntarily commit to the highest professional standards. REFCOM Elite is a best practice company registration scheme that has been running since 1994 to promote environmentally responsible refrigerant management and compliance with the latest industry legislation. Head of REFCOM Graeme Fox said the Elite Supplier scheme was set up so that responsible suppliers could help ensure that only properly qualified and registered companies were accessing refrigerant gas and equipment in line with the F-Gas Regulation. Unscrupulous “This scheme means suppliers have a way of demonstrating that they have signed up to a voluntary code of conduct that will level the playing field across the supply chain,” said Mr Fox. “This will also free up resources so the enforcing authorities are better able to police and clamp down on irresponsible online or unscrupulous sales to non-registered installers.” He said TF Solutions was a welcome addition to this “exclusive club” who had demonstrated to REFCOM’s independent inspector that they were working to the highest standards. TF Solutions commercial director Andy Reed said his company was happy to be “an early adopter” demonstrating support for the improved professional standards championed by the REFCOM scheme. “TF Solutions has always focused on providing our customers with the best service; so we felt that it was only right that we, as a leading national wholesaler, should participate and uphold the highest values and standards,” he said. “Supporting the F-Gas Regulation will be vital if the industry is to achieve its environmental and climate change goals and REFCOM’s Elite programme is playing a crucial role,” said Mr Reed.
A brand new distribution warehouse property at the Trident Park development in Normanton is set to hit the market. The industrial agency team of Knight Frank in Leeds has been given instruction as the sole agents to market the purpose built 52,402 sq ft unit located on Rosie Road, which is just a mile off Junction 31 on the M62. The site was built for BSS Group and was finished earlier in the year, and is now available to be purchased immediately for either lease or purchase. Partner at Knight Frank in Leeds, Iain McPhail, said that they are pleased to be instructed to advise their client on such a prestigious high-quality, newly-constructed warehouse unit at a prime logistics site. McPhail continued: “We are confident that the building will attract early interest due to the lack of existing options of this size currently in the marketplace, as well as the unique nature of the property which offers an occupier a high-bay warehouse on a generously-sized site. “The property benefits from an excellent specification, including 13-metre eaves height, four loading doors, steel framed canopy, two storey offices and an over-sized service yard extending to approximately 2.35acres, which allows an occupier the flexibility to either further extend the building (subject to planning) or utilise for external storage or HGV parking.” The property is available for immediate occupation on either a freehold or a leasehold basis. Last month, Knight Frank reported a record turnover, although profits took a downturn. Chief executive Alistair Elliot said that expansion in China, India and central London had pushed the firm’s turnover up by 4% in the 12 months to March 31, but pre-tax profits had been hit by a quieter start to this year, dipping from £160.1 million last year to £152.6 million in 2016. “There is no question that the majority of residential and commercial markets were beginning to peak in the autumn of last year,” Mr Elliot said.
