    We had reports of an early Santa sighting yesterday…   CoolKit’s very own Santa and Mrs Claus spent yesterday afternoon delivering donations to some of Lancashire’s most deserving charities 💙   The first stop on Hans Voges’ sleigh was FareShare UK, as he and Sarah Belshaw delivered the cereal used to demonstrate CoolKit’s industry-leading payload capacity at the Cold Chain Hub by TCS&D Magazine.   The Claus’ then flew over to Cash for Kids Lancashire to deliver all of the presents donated by CoolKit staff and friends 🎁   Both charities do incredible work to make life better for people in the region, and we’re delighted to be able to help make a difference.   Well done everyone 👏

    Maintaining a consistent temperature is vital to our customers, and luckily, it is what we do best.   At CoolKit, we don’t leave anything to chance. Our innovative air curtains preserve internal temperatures during deliveries, reducing energy loss and keeping debris out.    The air curtains provide a sanitary solution to temperature retention, keeping your payload at its optimum state without compromising on efficiency during multi-drop deliveries.   Even with the extra payload capacity provided by CoolKit conversions, our air curtain technology will keep your van temperature where it needs to be.   Do you want to know more?   Give our team a call today:  📞 01282 937266
