Sainsburys co2 vision

[coolhibby1875]

sainsburys head man Justin King has said that all there stores will be running on c02 buy 2014.
This begs the question where is sainsburys going to find the engineers to maintain this they are on there knees just now with engineers running for cover and companies going to the wall, does this now mean they will start to pay more money to the companies and in turn they can start to entice the good engineers back from the wilderness?

I wouldn't worry, somewhere out there is another sucker eager to take on the supermarkets with a " They won't catch me, I'm too cleaver for that" attitude ready to pick up the poisoned chalice and run with it....

I BELIEVE THAT THEY WILL BE EMPLOYING THE 200 DANFOSS ENGINEERS CURRENTLY ON THE DOLE IN DENMARK.However it shows balls if true COOOLHIBSTER

At least there will be some install work in the offing!
Doing the WR CO2 course for Morrisons on Monday and Tuesday, should be interesting!!

Trip to Specsavers or new hearing aid batteries required for someone;

Sainsbury's chief executive has announced the retailer’s intention to switch to CO2 refrigeration in all stores by 2030 at a conference hosted yesterday by the UK Environment Agency.

Although also;

Sainsbury's has earmarked the first 135 stores for conversion by 2014. From 2010, Sainsbury's says all its major new developments will use CO2 refrigeration as standard.

I am being cyinical if I say that they can get £2K per trainee engineer on a new Modern Apprenticeship. Just that it seems you guys are having a hard time with Supermarkets just now and this would be the way forward as they see it.

I used to work with a couple of fridge engineers that served their time with a Sainsburys apprenticeship ( 4 + years), they were both getting on a bit, but very old school (precise), might be a good thing if they do recruit and train engineers, certainly an improvement on the NVQ!

Cheers

Unfortunately the JS heirarchy is no longer there that produced the "old school" guy's! Nowdays you would not get the same training or experience!

[coolhibby1875]

sainsburys cant train thier own staff never mind highly skilled engineers!

My guess is that the 135 stores have packs mainly running R22 / R408a, stores with Screwpacks etc.. - these need to be coverted to somthing ASAP. But rather than converting to a R404a etc system - there taking the oppertunity to get in some CO2 systems...

[coolhibby1875]

hi keef 60 % of sainsburys eastate run on r22 so they had better get busy then with c02. anyway they are refitting 4 stores in scotland that i know about and they are all going in on r404a!
