John Lilburn

It is with sadness that we have to report the recent death of John Lilburn.  John was a popular member of the BRA Refrigerated Display Cabinet Section over a 25 year period up to 2015. 

After an early career in the Merchant Navy and a period of retraining for an HNC in Mechanical/Production engineering in the late 80s, John joined Craig Nicol Ltd in R&D shortly before Craig Nicol became Hussmann Ltd in April 1988.  When the Glasgow Hussmann factory closed and the business transferred to Milton Keynes, John was transferred with them as Technical Manager with Hussmann Europe.   After 17 years with Craig Nicol/Hussmann, when Hussmann Europe restructured John started his consultancy Cool Solutions in 2004 and ran it successfully until he closed it in 2017.

During his time in the industry, John participated in the work of the BRA refrigerated display cabinet section offering his expertise on a variety of projects.

We extend our condolences to John's family and friends at this sad time.
