General Manager, Be Cool Refrigeration
Mo has worked in air conditioning and refrigeration since 2004, more than 20 years in the trade. He is General Manager at Be Cool Refrigeration, the family-run London contractor that installs, services and repairs air conditioning, cold rooms and commercial refrigeration for homes and businesses.
