Stuart works across the UK and European branch offices of Hoshizaki as technical manager and is responsible for maintaining and driving cooling standards, systems and processes.

Simon Frost, director UK & Ireland at Hoshizaki, said: “Stuart has helped Hoshizaki go from strength to strength. His vast knowledge, technical skill and genuine passion for refrigeration are assets that we truly value and admire, in addition to his loyalty to Hoshizaki.

“I think I can speak on behalf of the entire team when I say that we are tremendously proud of the achievements that Stuart has made both internally and throughout the wider RACHP sector, and we look forward to seeing further achievements to come.”

Stuart also ensures compliance with the latest legislation and refrigeration standards, whether this be energy labelling or climate class listings. Stuart is the ‘go to’ contact for Hoshizaki customers when it comes to product and technical support.

He added: “The secret to my long-standing career with Hoshizaki is most definitely down to the team that I’ve been lucky enough to work with. Not only do the Hoshizaki team provide tremendous support for my commitments outside of my direct role, in addition to my internal commitments, but the colleagues that I work alongside at Hoshizaki are extremely knowledgeable and share the same enthusiasm for refrigeration as myself.”
