The HVACR Leader of the Year Award, is a unique category in CCN's awards program.
Finalists for this award have long standing careers that have contributed to the development of our industry.
Sponsored by Refrigerant Reclaim Australia, the four finalists are:
Kirby national sales & marketing manager, Brett Hedge, has been a long standing industry advocate since completing his apprenticeship in 1999.

His knowledge and experience has made him an influencer and driving force in this industry.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Air Conditioners Australia general manager, Adrian Brown, is a natural leader.

He has overseen the introduction of Green Scheme Accreditation pushing flammable refrigerant training into the mainstream.
