Weatherite, one of the U K’s leading manufacturers of air conditioning equipment, in conjunction with M & S, their consultancy Team and Star Refrigeration, has developed a new and innovative solution for Marks & Spencer to supportits ambitious‘Plan A’ initiative (aimed at ensuring they become one of the country's greenest retailers).
