Back in the classroom today with A & E Fire and Security for our Fire Marshal training.

Our site and office teams got hands on with live fire equipment and worked through real scenarios. Really engaging session from the A&E team, and a good reminder of why practice matters.

In a real incident there’s no time to check a manual, so you rely on what you’ve already done. It’s worth asking how recently your own team tested their safety plan.

For our clients, rest assured that our site leadership is trained, practised and ready.

Meet James Cleave, the newest addition to the Cold Clad team.

James has joined us as Trainee Contracts Manager. He’s spent over a decade working on large-scale TV build projects, coordinating contractors, trades and materials and keeping things on schedule, so a lot of it will be familiar territory. He’s now building on that experience in contracts management and enjoying it so far.

Away from work, James is a foodie and loves staying active, whether that’s a round of golf or a long walk with the dog. He’ll happily talk rugby, football or F1 too, so there’s plenty to chat about over a brew.

Great to have you with us!

Are you ready for colder conditions?

Winter site work puts immense pressure on everyone. Deadlines stay tight, but dark mornings, ice, and rain make every task higher risk.

At Cold Clad, Work You Can Trust means matching our commitment to your project schedule with an equal commitment to crew welfare.

We plan for winter risks, ensure our teams have full backing to stop unsafe work, and maintain our standards without taking shortcuts under pressure.

Protecting your timeline matters, but sending everyone home safely at the end of every shift comes first.

🗓️ Planning Q4/Q1 projects? Early scheduling protects your project lead times while keeping safety front and center. Reach out to our team today to lock in your window.

The environments in which food and drink are produced, processed and stored play an important role in keeping the industry moving.

But understanding the sector goes beyond the facilities themselves. It means recognising the challenges businesses face and the demands placed on their operations.

As a business working across temperature-controlled environments, staying close to the needs of the sector is important to how we approach our work.

We'll be joining fellow members at the BFBI Midland Section Annual Lunch on 4th of November at the Indian Brewery Company in Birmingham. An opportunity to strengthen our relationships and gain fresh perspectives from across an industry we know well.

Reaching new heights for BBC Children in Need.

Many of you will know Jon Pitman, Tony Harrold and Gareth Pitman through Cold Clad, but this November, they'll be taking on a challenge of a very different kind.

From 8th–22nd November 2026, the three will be heading to Nepal to take on the trek to Everest Base Camp. With challenging terrain, high altitudes and some incredible scenery ahead, it's certainly no small undertaking and promises to be an unforgettable experience for all three.

Alongside the challenge, they'll also be raising funds for BBC Children in Need, helping support children and young people across the UK who need it most. Every donation, big or small, would be greatly appreciated!

If you'd like to support their fundraising efforts, you can donate through the JustGiving page in the comments.

Join us in wishing Tony, Gareth and Jon the very best of luck as they take on this incredible challenge.

Built to separate, designed to protect.

Our Internal Firewalls division is making good progress on an industrial development in Liverpool, installing fire rated wall systems around the office area for principal contractor Barnfield Construction Limited.

With office and operational areas sharing the same building, effective fire compartmentation plays an important role in helping to limit the spread of fire.

But it's not just the wall panels that matter. How they connect to the surrounding structure and how critical junctions are firestopped are equally important in achieving the intended fire performance.

Because what separates two spaces today could make all the difference in the event of a fire.

The event may be over, but the conversations aren't.

With the official photos from Cold Chain Live! 2026 now out, we're looking back on two worthwhile days for the Cold Clad team.

For anyone operating or planning a cold store, there's plenty to consider beyond the refrigeration system itself.

It's something our Temperature Controlled Division Director, Richard Tassinari, explored in his Innovation Zone talk, “The Forgotten Refrigeration Component: The Cold Store Envelope.” From overlooked defects to their impact on energy consumption and operating costs, his presentation highlighted why the smaller details shouldn't be underestimated.

It was also great to welcome visitors to our stand, hear about the projects they're working on and discuss where our experience and expertise could make a difference.

If we crossed paths at Cold Chain Live!, we'd love to pick up where we left off. And if we missed you, we'd still love to hear from you.
