A new business has been launched to provide industrial process cooling and chiller solutions.

Allan Dolby, Emma Dolby, and Owen Crawford are delighted to announce the launch of Direct Cooling Solutions Ltd, a new associate company for Direct Air & Pipework Ltd.

Alongside the existing in-house capabilities of Direct Air – which boasts highly equipped service engineers, pipework installation team, 3D CAD Design and bespoke service database offerings –Owen Crawford has joined Direct Cooling Solutions as Sales and Projects Director.

Owen brings with him over 25 years’ experience within the industrial process cooling marketplace.

Direct Cooling Solutions are authorised distributors for Parker’s Hyperchill Plus (ICEP) and Hyperchill (ICE) range of chillers. The ICEP & ICE range of chillers are versatile and flexible to meet varied process cooling requirements, delivering cooling capacities from 1.7 to 760 kW.

Owen said: “Direct Cooling provided an opportunity to take my experience in the industrial process cooling market to the next level, combining my existing relationship with Parker with Direct Air’s established business infrastructure.

“We can provide chillers, heat pumps, cooling towers, dry, adiabatic, and free coolers to both industrial and HVAC clients nationwide. It’s been an exciting couple of months watching the brand develop and building relationships with my new colleagues to be able to support our customer base to the highest quality.”

Allan Dolby, Managing Director at Direct Air, said: “The synergies between the compressed air industry and the opportunities for the industrial cooling and chiller sector made the development of a new associate company a straightforward decision.

“It was imperative that for us to be successful in this marketplace to have an individual come on board with extensive technical and industrial knowledge, which in Owen we have achieved. Direct Air has just celebrated its 30th anniversary; I look forward to where Direct Cooling Solutions will be in the years to come”. For information, see www.directcoolingsolutions.co.uk

Rugby-based Surefyre Laser Design Ltd has delivered their latest bespoke signage project for luxury Sperry Tent specialists Boutique Marquees.

The brief called for three highquality signs that would seamlessly complement Boutique Marquees' signature natural oak aesthetic.

Surefyre delivered on this by crafting three 610x610mm signs from natural oak veneered panels. The headline text was engraved directly onto the panel along with a QR code for a touch of modern functionality. Boutique Marquees' logo was laser cut from high-gloss black acrylic and mounted on the panel, creating a smart and classic relief effect for the branding.

Nicola Taverner, Sales, Events & Marketing Manager, at Boutique Marquees, said: “We are thrilled with our new signage. It’s great to find a local supplier that can deliver a first-class product and service, to match our luxury brand.”

The combination of natural and synthetic materials with digital technology combines to ensure that the signs are both visually appealing and informative.

Guy Eastwood, CEO Founder of Surefyre Laser Design, added: “It's a pleasure to work with the guys at Boutique Marquees. They have a tight rein on the brand and a keen eye for details. For the team to be so happy with the signs is a brilliant affirmation of our commitment to the highest standards of service and product.”
