The meeting also marked the beginning of Lisa-Jayne Cook’s two-year term as IOR President. She said: "I am incredibly honoured and excited to take on the role at such a pivotal time for our industry. With pressing challenges and opportunities on the horizon, from decarbonisation to advancing digitalisation, I believe that now, more than ever, the RACHP industry has a critical role to play in shaping a sustainable future.

"The IOR has long been a beacon for knowledge-sharing, education, and guidance.  My goal as President is to build upon that foundation, strengthening our support for members and inspiring the next generation to join us in driving sustainable progress in refrigeration, air conditioning, and heat pump technologies. It’s a tremendous privilege to serve this remarkable industry and to contribute to its ongoing growth and impact."
