In October 2023 , SAIRAC Johannesburg Centre hosted its annual Fellows luncheon .
The Fellows lunch provides an opportunity for those within the refrigeration and air conditioning industry to give thanks , and to honour the Fellows of the institute who have shaped and nurtured our industry into what it is today .
The title ‘ Fellow ’ requires a minimum membership to SAIRAC of 10 years and is awarded to those who have shown significant performance , with recognised contributions to the industry , among other criteria .
Johannesburg centre chairman Gregory Grobbelaar opened with a message of thanks to all the Fellows , most of whom have had an integral part in the setting of standards and dissemination of knowledge within the HERVAC industry .
Present were Robert Fox , SAIRAC president ; Grant Laidlaw , SAIRAC national treasurer ; all the Johannesburg Centre committee members ; as well those Fellows able to make the event :
• Mr PW Burke
• Mr AP Curry
• Mr RFW Hannim
• Mr GK Laidlaw
