About Tim Fawdray
My Story
In 1993 I started working at Varcoe refrigeration, straight out of school. I asked to work for free for a year, and it has all worked out quite well. I then completed my apprenticeship in refrigeration in 1998 and haven’t looked back. After an OE in 2001, I realized how much I loved business. I started and ran a cleaning business in London. So when I returned to work with Paul Varcoe and bought into the company after a year. I love sales and meeting people and refrigeration in the Food Industry. And, in 2016 I bought the remaining shares.
The refrigeration industry has changed in the last 5-10 years and heat pumps are now huge. Because we have been supplying and installing heat pumps over the last 30 years, we have seen a lot of industry changes. They are such a great way to heat the home, keep it dry, allergen friendly, but best of all they are great for the environment. I love that they are so attainable to Kiwis and finally we can live in homes, go to schools and social clubs and take our jackets off. No more snuggling in a rug with a damp gas heater in winter or drinking a beer in a sweaty hot pub in summer. Life is just better and more comfortable with heat pumps.
Who knows where the future of heating will be, but I want to be there, and will be. Solar panels, watch this space.
