Founded on hard work and quality.
Dawn and Mac Marney founded the business in 1964, after saving up for the first van, equipment and spares needed for installation and service work. Mac did all the breakdowns, service work and installations himself, building his own cold rooms and mortuaries, enlisting some help from a friend when required. Dawn ran the business from home, taking all the calls, doing the bookwork and invoicing. She also helped Mac with the manual work, helping to lift refrigeration units into their garage, and back in to the van.
After two years, their home was too small to support the business and extra space in the local garage was procured. The first engineer joined the company and, with another van on the road, the business rapidly grew, resulting in another engineer being required.
