Modular walk‑in pharmaceutical cold rooms with monoblock refrigeration at the NWSSP warehouse for vaccine storage.

Wessex Refrigeration Hire Proudly Supports NHS Wales Flu Vaccine Rollout

Large Coldroom Rental To Support NHS Pharmacy

Wessex Refrigeration Hire is proud to be playing a vital role in this year’s NHS Wales autumn flu vaccination programme, providing high-spec, walk-in coldrooms for secure vaccine storage across the region.

As reported by ITV News, the NHS has launched its largest-ever flu vaccine drive, and we’re thrilled to support them with an ultra-reliable and environmentally responsible cold chain storage solution.


🌡️ Pharmaceutical-Grade Coldroom Hire with Built-In Resilience

For this time-sensitive and mission-critical project, Wessex Refrigeration Hire delivered two large-scale modular cold rooms that meet the stringent storage requirements for vaccines, including:

  • Tight temperature tolerances
  • Built-in redundancy
  • 24/7 remote temperature monitoring
  • Generator backup compatibility

Each coldroom is powered by GOVI monoblock refrigeration systems featuring ultra-low GWP (Global Warming Potential) propane refrigerant, supporting NHS Wales’ net-zero carbon goals. These units are designed to withstand rigorous use and operate efficiently in demanding healthcare environments.


🏗️ Trusted Cold Storage Infrastructure for Public Sector and Pharma

Our modular rooms were custom-built using Purever UK coldroom panels, manufactured in Pontyclun, South Wales. Sourcing locally reduces lead times, boosts the Welsh economy, and helps NHS Wales meet its obligations under the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015.

This project reflects our experience serving the pharmaceutical, healthcare, and public sectors with scalable, compliant cold chain solutions. We’re not just refrigeration experts — we’re partners in health resilience, offering:

  • Fast deployment
  • Cleanroom-grade modular coldrooms
  • Flexible rental and long-term hire options
  • Responsive call-out support (within 3–6 hours)

♻️ Sustainable Cold Chain Solutions – Built for the Future

Unlike many traditional providers, we focus on eco-conscious innovation, combining:

  • Low-carbon refrigerants
  • Energy-efficient design
  • Local sourcing
  • Reusable modular infrastructure

This approach offers a bespoke, low-risk, future-proof cold storage for projects like this one, helping us differentiate ourselves from competitors.
