ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Howdy guys, in Episode 42 of The Air Conditioning Podcast we chatted with the SA State Manager of Airefrig Australia, Mr Ben Bithell.
Starting out from a WA based Garage in 1970, Airefrig Australia grew substantially in the first 12 months, and has continued that momentum. Airefrig Australia is a company that's committed to being market leaders as a national wholesaler for the refrigeration and air conditioning industry.
