Melanie from Courtown Seal Rescue approached us looking for a cost effective solution for storing fish that was used to feed the rescued seals.

We couldn't see those seals going hungry now, could we. CRS were more than happy to donate, delvier and install a cold storage solution for the rescue centre, so they could quickly and efficiently store deliveries of fish.

"We are so grateful to CRS Cold Storage Ireland for generously donating, delivering and installing a giant, new freezer for us! This beautiful piece of equipment will make our lives much easier by allowing us to safely and easily store our stockpiles of fish for the seals. Thank you for your support and generosity CRS!"

The record attempt was for the number of self-propelled forage harvesters working simultaneously in one field. CRS was more than happy to oblige, donating two solutions for the weekend's event. One used as a security cabin, and the other was a cold storage solution for an onsite cold store.

On the 6th May 2017 in Kiltale Trim Co. Meath, in front of a crowd of 5500 spectators Combines4Charity were successful in their attempt when at 10 am, 104 self-propelled harvesters descended on the 100ac site chopping the grass and blowing it into trailers.

"We are delighted with the assistance we have received from local business The CRS Group. With them donating several solutions to us for the weekend, really helped us and was one less thing to worry about. It is great to see local businesses come together and help charities in the area. Thank you CRS."

Tony Brady, Event Organiser.

More expertise, working together

Every temperature control requirement comes with its own challenges. It might be a food producer needing additional freezer capacity, a manufacturer managing a process cooling requirement or a business facing an unexpected refrigeration breakdown.

Bringing CRS into Coolworld connects more people, experience and equipment to help customers find a suitable solution.

Our combined offering includes cold stores, freezer stores, blast freezers, process chillers and heating solutions, with engineering support to help customers plan, install and maintain their rental equipment.

Whether the requirement is short term, seasonal or ongoing, our focus is on understanding what the customer needs and making the arrangements as straightforward as possible.

People first, from the first conversation

Equipment matters, but so do the people behind it.

Customers need someone who listens, understands the pressures on their business and follows through. That approach remains at the heart of how we work as Coolworld.

From account managers and engineers to the teams preparing equipment and coordinating deliveries, everyone has a part to play in supporting our customers. Bringing those teams closer together gives us more opportunities to share knowledge and solve problems.

It also strengthens collaboration between colleagues across our European operations, allowing local experience to be supported by expertise from the wider business.

What does the change mean for CRS customers?

Customers will see the Coolworld name across our communications, equipment and online channels as the transition progresses.

If you have previously worked with CRS, you can continue to speak to our team about your temperature control requirements. We can help with existing enquiries, upcoming projects and questions about the change.

As part of Coolworld, customers have access to a broader range of temperature control equipment and support through one team, making it easier to discuss different requirements in one place.

Looking ahead as Coolworld

This next chapter builds on the work of our colleagues and the relationships we have developed with customers over the years.

We are proud of that history and grateful to everyone who has been part of it. As Coolworld, we look forward to continuing those relationships, welcoming new customers and supporting the businesses and communities we work alongside.

A new name, with people still at the heart of what we do.
