The Sure Chill Company has appointed Marc Evans as its new ceo, as it expands its commercial offering and moves to its next phase of international development.

Mr Evans has extensive financial, commercial and legal experience. In his previous role he was commercial director for the investments division of Balfour Beatty and prior to that worked at multinational law firm, DLA Piper.

His appointment comes at a pivotal time in The Sure Chill Company’s development. Its pioneering work in the medical field addressing the global challenges in the vaccine cold chain continues apace, supported by a recent $1.4m grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. In addition, it is forging ahead in the domestic and beverage sectors, building on existing licensing and manufacturing agreements for its cooling technology worldwide. A major element of Marc’s role will be to guide this diversification and ensure The Sure Chill Company realises its full potential in these new sectors.
