Scrapping BSF Schemes Places Many Schools in Quandary

CHELTENHAM, England, July 7, 2010 - The news that 719 planned Building Schools for the Future (BSF) schemes
are to be scrapped puts many schools in something of a quandary when it comes
to maintaining catering standards, says PKL, the UK's leading supplier of
temporary kitchens and catering equipment for hire.

"Many of these projects would have included essential upgrades to
kitchens, so schools will now have to look for alternatives," notes PKL's Lee
Vines. "And with other capital budgets also being squeezed there is a very
strong case for considering capital-free alternatives such as long-term hire
of equipment or entire kitchens. 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," 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. The company will also work with schools to
evaluate their needs, identify the best solution and explore the options that
are open to them.
