Brett Fletcher is a man who knows his ice and the business of keeping things cool. During our interview, I needed clarification when I kept hearing him use the term ‘ice business.’ He has worked in this field for so long, over 25 years, that it’s second nature to him to know what it means...but to the rest of us, or at least me, as it turns out, he’s referring to those amazing frosty bags of Party Ice we all buy and use at every single party or get together, and for that I thank him. THAT’S the Ice business, and business has always been good. Brett then found a way to trans- late that ice business knowledge and success into other avenues, and voila, Ready Refrigeration was born. “Having a background in the ice business, it just felt like a natural progression into the refrigeration business, almost 10 years ago, as it kind of grew as a spin off from the original company. And we just continued to grow into what we’re doing now offering a full line of refrigeration, heating, cooling and HVAC products and services for both residential and commercial,” says Brett.

NOVA SCOTIA’S HEATING AND COOLING EXPERTS

U sing the word ‘organic’ to describe a company’s growth seems too on the nose when talking about...a refrigeration company. But then you start listening to Brett Fletcher, VP of Opera- tions, talk about Ready Refrigeration. From a start in the ‘ice business’ (we’ll explain that later) to a full-blown heating, cooling, HVAC company, the growth of Ready Refrigera- tion has been...truly organic! Brett sat down with Spotlight on Business Magazine to give us an idea of how they’ve managed to have so much success in the past, and how they hope to continue that in the future.
