Hubbard steps into the Cellar Cooling Breach and appoints QUALITAIR's Ron Pamplin

Hubbard Products, the UK's leading designer, manufacturer and originator of ECA qualifying cellar cooling systems have stepped in to fill the void created by the recent decision of, Eaton-Williams to halt the supply of its QUALITAIR range of R410A cellar systems.

Cellar Cooling specialist Ron Pamplin joins Hubbard on August 3rd 2015, and will oversee the launch of a new range of ECA qualifying systems. These will replace Hubbard's popular 'LITE' range of units. Ron was previously QUALITAIR product manager at Eaton-Williams, and was well-known in the refrigeration wholesaling and distributorship sectors.

Ron explains, "Following a restructuring of Eaton-Williams' business in the UK it looked as if its popular cellar cooling range would be lost forever. Now, I am pleased to say that once again I will be offering the industry a cost-effective, high-efficiency cellar cooling system. It will only be available off-the-shelf through nominated wholesalers. Hubbard has a good reputation within the industry for well-designed and engineered equipment. The decision to review its lower end 'Lite; product, upgrading its effectiveness to include ECA certification at a competitive price point is cheering."

The new range of units christened 'LITEAIR' to reflect their heritage and position as an entry level ECA qualifying cooler, will be available from October 2015.

Dougie Stoddart, commercial director of Hubbard Products said, "We are delighted to have Ron on our team. As a company, we are going through a period of significant development and the opportunity to improve our existing product with ECA certification, allied with Ron's enthusiasm, knowledge and expertise made the decision to proceed an easy choice. The refrigeration and cellar cooling sector obviously has a need for coolers such as LITEAIR and the ability to buy them off-the-shelf makes this type of unit highly popular. Combined with our planned move to a new manufacturing facility and headquarters in the Ipswich area before 2016, makes this is an important time for our UK and European sales ambitions."
