As the drive to net zero accelerates, the ACR News Awards provides an excellent platform to showcase the best our industry has to offer to support the decarbonisation effort.

From developments in refrigerants to the latest online tools to optimise systems, the awards shine a spotlight on the technologies and services set to transform the nation’s thermal economy.

For our part, this theme is written through BITZER as a business, with investment on a global scale to develop ever-more efficient and environmentally sustainable solutions for our customers.

As well as helping to shape the future, we also believe in honouring the past and those who have contributed much to the success and standing of our industry. The Alan Moor Award was established with this aim in mind, to commemorate our illustrious former Managing Director, who, despite the passing of years, is still fondly remembered by many colleagues in the industry.

The event is not only a focus for innovation, but also a great opportunity to get together informally with colleagues and customers for what is always a relaxing and entertaining evening, professionally organised by the dedicated ACR News team.

We wish all those entering every success, and look forward to another enjoyable evening in London at the ACR News Awards 2023.

“If we can’t make it better for the technician in the field, we don’t do it”.

It is a simple promise and one we’ve kept for over 30 years. At Fieldpiece, we believe that every HVACR professional in the field needs the best tools possible. We know what techs in the field need because we are out with them every day.

Fieldpiece was founded 33 years ago and has grown from a typical garage company into an organisation with 125 professionals in both the USA and Europe. We have always focused on HVACR test & tools, like digital manifolds, vacuum pumps, and leak detectors. Today, Fieldpiece is the US market leader with a 26,2% market share.

The Fieldpiece family of products has many things in common. They’re tough and versatile and can handle the demands of working in HVACR such as extreme weather conditions, falling in a van or being able to read measurements through thick, isolated walls. From the beginning, we have always listened to the professionals in the field to determine exactly what they need and what they struggle with so we can design products that make the life of HVACR professional easier, faster and better. Every day.
