TWO young engineers from Industrial Cooling Equipment Ltd (ICE), a Runcorn-based refrigeration company, have been recognised as some of the most promising talent in the UK after winning major honours at the ACR and Heat Pump Trainee of the Year Awards 2025.

The awards, held at the Leeds Marriott Hotel, brought together leading businesses from across the refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump sectors to celebrate excellence and support the next generation of engineers.

Luc Dwyer and Samuel Jones, both apprentices at ICE, took home national awards in their respective categories, marking a proud moment for the company and its apprenticeship programme.

Luc, who was named Air Conditioning Trainee of the Year, has undergone a remarkable progression since joining the business.

After beginning his apprenticeship in the service department, he moved into installations, where his confidence and technical ability grew rapidly.
