A little bit of recent gossip at the wholesalers automated coffee dispenser (Avoid any who charge) had the birdies twittering about a proposed merger between the different service divisions at Johnson Controls UK.

Of course if the rumours are true (smoke and Fire!) the expected statement will be simplified services, one stop shop blah blah blah!!! We heard this from Grenco, Trane etc.
I still hear about split engineers sent to large industrial ammonia plants! and Trane refrigeration engineers going to service air compressors (Not that they should not be perfectly capable of these tasks)

My personal opinion though when walking onto a large site that has been riddled with small Dx plant to provide the cooling that there is a huge gap in the understanding of why this is not the best solution!! The lack of large plant engineers will in the long run be to the detriment of everyone.

I would be interested to hear some of the members views and if there is any substantiation to the twitterings?
