While the organisers recognise that this will be disappointing to many, they are excited to reveal the plans to move the event online – allowing even more professionals to be a part of the annual celebration of industry excellence.

Event manager Steve Bennion says: “We understand that the ACR News Awards is a key date on the calendar of many industry professionals and this news will of course be disappointing, however the health and safety of all attendees and staff is our number one priority.

“With that being said, we are incredibly excited to have a unique opportunity to invite everyone in the industry to join us on Thursday, July 9 to honour the outstanding achievements of companies and individuals from across the HVACR sector. I would like to encourage you to invite your colleagues, peers and friends to join us for this year’s celebrations!”

The virtual event will be hosted on the ACR News Awards website on Thursday, July 9 from 4.00pm to 5.30pm.
