William Haughey
William Haughey is Chief Executive of City Refrigeration, the UK's largest specialist refrigeration and facilities management company. He gave £10,000 to the Labour Party in March 1999 (and more than £5,000 in 2000) and was one of the ten Scottish businessmen who wrote a letter to the Scotland on Sunday newspaper in January 1999 to express support for the Labour Party (including John Boyle,Tom Hunter and Dr John Parker of Babcock International).[1]
City Refrigeration supplies and manages the refrigeration equipment for bars, restaurants and retailers, including all of Asda's supermarkets (in a £200 million 5-year contract). They bought the Scottish Milk Marketing Board's equipment rental division in 1997 and in 1998 they opened a Call Centre in Rutherglen. Lord Gus MacDonald, Labour Transport Minister, said at the time that he was 'delighted by City Refrigeration's progress.'[2]
