Green Cooling

What Green Cooling does

Green Cooling is a UK-based commercial refrigeration and cooling specialist founded in 2004, operating from dual offices in Fleetwood (north) and London (south). The company designs, installs, and maintains bespoke cooling systems built around natural refrigerants — primarily carbon dioxide (R744) in transcritical configurations and hydrocarbons (R290, R454C) — positioned as lower-global-warming-potential alternatives to legacy HFC systems. Its portfolio spans cold rooms, process cooling, heat-recovery hot-water generation (the proprietary GC TWIN ENERGY system), and integrated controls, with installations delivered across hospitality, food production, healthcare, data centres, cleanrooms, retail, airports, and corporate estates.

The company's go-to-market is enterprise and project-led: each installation is engineered to the customer's site requirements, priced on a bespoke basis, and typically paired with a long-tail maintenance and service contract. Marquee UK customers — Arsenal FC, Co-Op, HSBC, KPMG, Café Royal, Cadbury World, Heathrow Airport, Pan Pacific, and NHS sites including Alder Hey Children's Hospital and Homerton — indicate a strong foothold in the mid-to-large commercial tier rather than long-tail SMB volume. Green Cooling also claims UK-first transcritical CO2 installations in hospital settings, signalling depth in regulated, high-criticality environments.

Operationally, the firm leans on partnerships with refrigeration OEMs and controls specialists, including Panasonic (compressors and equipment), Carel (electronic controllers and system supervision), and Enex Technologies (CO2 refrigeration technology), which together form its technical supply stack. There is no public disclosure of funding, ownership structure, headcount, or financial performance; the business appears to be privately held and grown organically over two decades.
