Steve was named as one of the influencers in the Top Industry Professionals category, which gathered experts from some of the world’s most renowned brands and organisations including Microsoft, Amazon and the British Council.

This reflects the fact that the promotion of technical advancement and cooling careers are at the heart of what the IOR does, and social media is increasingly becoming a crucial tool in helping the IOR to spread the word about the latest industry news.    

Mr Gill said: “It's exciting to see that in my role as president of the IOR, I have been listed as one of the Top Industry Professionals in STEM. This reflects positively on the impact of the work of IOR to raise the profile of refrigeration’s contribution to society and as an excellent career choice.

In addition to Twitter, the IOR also runs a LinkedIn group (IOR Discussion Group) and a Facebook group for members.
