The owners of the business were Geoff Crockford and Stan Robertson, who are now both deceased. The service staff drove Volkswagen 'Kombi' vans, bought from Smith's of Fairfield. Laurie Delaney, pictured second from right, worked for the company for twenty years. At that time, the firm was one of the largest air conditioning businesses in Melbourne. The company is not in existence any longer. It was bought out in about 1988 by Heating Controls.
