PKL Ensures Continuity of Food Supply for Bedford Nursing Home

CHELTENHAM, England, June 14, 2010 - When the Airedale Nursing Home in Bedford embarked on a major
refurbishment and extension project it was keen to minimise the disruption
and inconvenience to its residents. It was therefore decided to hire a
portable, temporary kitchen from PKL to ensure that catering standards could
be maintained throughout the duration of the construction work.

"I don't know how we would have managed without the temporary kitchen and
the service from PKL was excellent," commented the Home's Dr Kamyar. "They
understood our priorities and responded immediately whenever we required
anything," he added.

The kitchen, a 30 foot PKL Mixed Double, was located in the car park and
linked to the building by the PKL installation team to provide direct access
to the main building.

The kitchen provides storage, wash up, preparation and production
facilities and was on-site for 18 months. The temporary facility was used to
serve meals to the 35 residents at the nursing home while the kitchen
underwent refurbishment.

PKL has a large amount of experience delivering solutions to the
residential care sector and has developed the "Care Home Kitchen". This is a
temporary kitchen designed specifically for nursing homes that are undergoing
refurbishments, enabling foodservice provision to be maintained through the
duration of the project.

PKL has also published a detailed Contingency Planning Guide for the
healthcare and care home sectors, detailing the importance of kitchen
contingency planning and helping users to produce their own personalised
plan. The guide is available free of charge and can be ordered by at
