Breaking Through the Budgetary Restrictions

CHELTENHAM, England, June 23, 2010 - As capital budgets are squeezed ever harder there are strong signs that
many organisations are turning to outsourced and contract hire solutions that
can be met from revenue budgets. So says PKL, the UK's leading supplier of
temporary kitchens and catering equipment for hire.

"There are many organisations, particularly in the public sector, where
there is a desperate need to upgrade catering equipment or kitchen buildings
but capital funds simply aren't available," notes PKL's Lee Vines. "The long
term hire of catering equipment, or even an entire new kitchen building, is a
real capital-free alternative because the cost is met through a monthly fee.
And the service provider assumes the financial risk relating to the
equipment," he adds.

PKL offers a wide choice of hire options, ranging from the ability to
specify a complete kitchen equipment estate with inclusive service and
maintenance, to permanent modular kitchen buildings that can be designed and
configured to end user choice.

Using the contract hire option to procure new kitchen buildings or to
replace or upgrade a current kitchen estate provides a viable alternative to
capital purchase and is particularly relevant during the current squeeze on
funding. In addition, outsourcing all service and maintenance means that
there will be no additional costs once a kitchen is in place.

"It seems clear that we will see even tighter restrictions placed on
capital budgets over the next few years but many organisations can't wait
that long to upgrade their kitchens," Lee Vines adds. "We are happy to work
with any of these bodies to evaluate their needs, identify the best solution
and explore the options that are open to them," he concludes.
