World Refrigeration Day founder Steve Gill will stand for a second term as Institute of Refrigeration (IOR) President, having been nominated alongside Star Refrigeration Group Sales and Marketing Director Rob Lamb and Paul Arrowsmith, Refrigeration Engineering Design Manager at Sainsbury's.
The three were selected by the IOR Nominations Committee from 13 eligible candidates.
Gill previously served as President from 2014-2016 and remains closely involved with the IOR through mentoring and the WiRACHP Committee. Lamb is a former recipient of both the Ted Perry Award and Kenneth Lightfoot Medal, previously chaired the Membership Committee and is a former Trustee. Arrowsmith is also a former Trustee and is currently a member of the IOR Technical Committee.
Members can propose additional candidates for the role at any time up until noon on 29 August. Further details and how to nominate are available on the IOR website.
Once appointed, the President-Elect will work with the current IOR President (Lisa-Jayne Cook) in their role as Chair of the IOR Board of Trustees until her term ends next year. Voting opens in September with the result announced at the Annual General Meeting on 29 October.
