Temperature-controlled food storage and distribution businesses, Reed Boardall, which recently opened the latest extension to its 55 acre cold storage facility in North Yorkshire, has marked the 30th anniversary of partnering with industrial refrigeration specialist EJM Engineered Systems.

EJM is a supplier of industrial refrigeration systems as well as providing air conditioning, ventilation and maintenance services. The group has designed, installed and maintained all four state-of-the-art cold stores at Reed Boardall’s single site in Boroughbridge, having received its first order on Christmas Eve 1991.

Established in 1980, EJM employs around 50 people across its three sites: its headquarters are in Durham, and offices and manufacturing facilities in Derby. More recently it acquired an industrial refrigeration company in the South East.

Paul Cable, managing director of EJM Engineered Systems, commented: “Reed Boardall has always been visionary in its refrigeration plant design; from the initial concept, it builds in the ability for future extensions to enable it to grow with its customers. It also requires very high standards within its cold stores, and we have consistently provided this, delivering robust plant with energy efficient enhanced design which has stood the test of time. With over 9,000kW of installed refrigeration capacity across the site, Reed Boardall has one of the largest and most modern facilities of its kind in the UK and we are proud to have supported the company for the full journey.”

In May, Reed Boardall announced the completion of a 110,000sq ft extension to its newest cold store, expanding capacity to 168,000 pallets. The project was delivered by EJM, which will continue to provide ongoing service and maintenance.
