HEAR FROM OUR CUSTOMERS
Testimonials from just some of our customers who we have helped in providing temperature control solutions for businesses.
HARRIER
“Efficiency and sustainability are integral to our customer promise. Conventional cooling methods simply weren’t enough, we needed a solution that could keep pace with our rapid turnaround while also meeting our energy and environmental goals.”
“We’ve seen a real impact: the new cooling system has reduced our energy consumption and carbon footprint, while maintaining the reliability we need for fast turnarounds. It has set our facility up for long-term sustainable growth. The successful partnership with ICS Cool Energy highlights the value of proactive engineering and data-driven decision making for any business seeking targeted efficiency and sustainability improvements”
Jeremy Rawley, Harrier
IG DESIGN GROUP
“Before the ICS Cool Energy site survey and intervention, we were facing corrosion inside the metalliser and sludge-related shutdowns every few hours.”
“We count on the support and early warning of any deviations that can safeguard our continuous production.”
David Allen, plant engineer at IG Design Group
BAXTERS FOOD GROUP
“It was important for us to work with a supplier that could provide full support throughout. ICS Cool Energy not only delivered the right solution, but their service team was on hand at every step, from installation through commissioning and aftercare.”
“The confidence we have now comes not from just the system itself, but from knowing we have strong service support behind us.”
“When we had an unexpected issue with a third-party valve following a power cut, ICS Cool Energy team responded immediately and helped get us back up and running quickly. That kind of responsiveness is invaluable.”
Simon Murray, regional project manager south at Baxters
CNC SPEEDWELL
“Partnering with ICS Cool Energy and tapping into their expertise in process cooling has truly transformed our operations. The centralised cooling system they implemented has drastically cut our maintenance costs and energy bills. The collaboration with ICS was seamless, I had the chance to work hand in glove with their engineers, whose professionalism and expertise were evident throughout the process”.
“Visiting ICS headquarters and other project locations also reinforced their credibility and the thoroughness of their approach. This partnership has not only resolved our operational challenges but also strengthened our commitment to sustainability and innovation.”
Simon Danvers, facilities manager at CNC Speedwell
CAMERONS BREWERY
“We were in a tight spot when our previous cold storage provider shut down. We quickly needed a solution that could meet our specific requirements without the complications we faced with other companies.”
“ICS Cool Energy’s responsiveness was impressive. They confirmed our needs over the phone and had their unit delivered and set up without any hassle, right on time” noted Simon Ritson. ”The cold store container turned out to be more spacious than we anticipated, which gave us additional flexibility and storage capacity.”
Simon Ritson, brand ambassador for Camerons Brewery Ltd
NEOGEN EMEA
“We had limited space in our existing facility and a mounting urgency. We needed to hold a higher level of stock at short term to accommodate more areas than what we currently service.”
“Having the containers on-site allowed us more control and responsibility for the extra stock hold. The decisive factor for choosing ICS Cool Energy was the cost-effectiveness and very short time their hire team needed to have everything set up and running. It was paramount for us to add extra storage space on site and none of our current suppliers or contractors we work with had any options for what we needed”.
“Keeping the stock at a Neogen facility in the short term and not have it stored and shipped from a 3PL has proven to be the right choice. Timely solutions, strategic decisions, and the right partnerships are essential in business growth. The collaboration with ICS Cool Energy ensured we had the right support for this critical project”.
Andy Keirs, warehouse and logistics manager at Neogen EMEA
HULL HOSPITAL
“We discussed our requirements with several installation companies, and they were all saying it wouldn’t be possible to retrofit the system using heat pumps. The team at ICS Cool Energy proved them wrong. ICS clearly explained the benefits of electrifying our heating, which involved adding a cascade system with the i-FH heat pump and a multi-pipe chiller unit to our existing installation”
James Watts, engineering project manager at Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust
BEAVERTOWN BREWERY
“We want to focus on the overall business and not have to worry if our vital temperature control is functioning correctly. So ICS Cool Energy is an ideal partner because of the service support.”
Jenn Merrick, head brewer and operations manager, Beavertown Brewery
FAQs for Cold Storage Rentals
What temperature ranges can our cold storage units maintain?
Our refrigerated containers can maintain temperatures between +30°C and −40°C, depending on the model and configuration. Units use high-performance refrigeration systems with precise digital controls to ensure stable temperature conditions for food, pharmaceutical, and industrial products.
What sizes of cold storage units are available to rent?
We offer a range of modular refrigerated storage options, including:
- 10ft refrigerated containers
- 20ft refrigerated containers

These units can be configured for chilled storage, frozen storage, or ultra-low temperature applications, allowing you to scale capacity quickly.
How quickly can a cold storage unit be delivered and installed?
Delivery times vary by location and availability, but many customers receive units within a few days to a few weeks. Installation is straightforward—most units are plug-and-play, requiring only a suitable power supply.
Do you provide temporary or emergency cold storage?
