The Australian Refrigeration Council (ARC) elected Dr Greg Picker as chair of the Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Industry board at its recent annual general meeting.
He takes over from Michael Bennett AM, who has completed his term and will retire from a long career in the refrigeration and air conditioning industry.
Greg Picker is Executive Director of Refrigerants Australia, a role he has filled for the past decade, and brings a wealth of knowledge from the refrigerants and products sectors.
With Australian Government and United Nations experience, Dr Picker understands environmental policy drivers and the refrigeration and air conditioning industry.
