Cold room solutions for the busiest period the year – Christmas!
Christmas is one of the busiest periods of the year for many industries, including food & drink retail and manufacturing. These businesses often rely on cold rooms and other cold storage solutions to store and maintain the quality of its products. But what happens if your cold storage solutions fail during the Christmas period?
We’re pretty certain you don’t want to find out! But poorly functioning cold rooms can lead to loss of stock and pose a health & safety risk to your employees. Broken or failed display cabinets can mean you’re unable to stock all of your products for customers to see. These can result in loss of profits and in some cases your clients may go elsewhere. So, what can you do about it?
Refurbish Your Cold Rooms and Refrigerated Cabinets Before the Christmas Rush
Ensuring your cold rooms and refrigerated display cabinets are fully refurbished before the start of the Christmas period can help reduce the risk of any cold room and cabinet failures.
Maintenance of your cold room, refrigerated cabinets and doors should be carried out regularly to prevent excessive energy usage, risk to your customers and employees, loss of products and more.
These elements are important all year round, but they are particularly important when there is an influx of stock and people in your buildings and stores.
MTCSS offers an array of refurbishment and maintenance solutions for your cold rooms and display cabinets, including:
- Front of house refurbishment – replacing and refurbishing refrigerated display cabinets

Keeping your cold rooms, display cabinets and cold room doors well maintained ensures they are working efficiently, helps reduce energy costs and protects your products and your people. This is important all year round, but is particularly important when there is an increase demand, stock and customers in your stores.
Invest in Temporary Cold Rooms
If you are expecting an increase in stock and products to accommodate the increased demand, a temporary cold room could be an ideal solution without a huge outlay of costs.
While the installation of a new cold room can help with increasing the capacity for your stock, it may not be something you require all year round. An alternative option to a new cold room is hiring a temporary cold room for the Christmas period, or whatever period is busiest for you!
There are various options when it comes to temporary cold rooms, including walk-in chillers, walk-in freezers, internal cold rooms and external cold rooms of varying capacities. This can help you store the additional stock and improve productivity without a large outlay of capital expenditure.
