The BBC Manchester canteen is on duty for most of the day, staring serving breakfasts to early risers right through to keeping the late shift going throughout the night.
To keep the kitchen operational, equipment reliability was crucial as well as the ability to change and upgrade equipment to meet demands of changing trends. Working together with PKL, key items of equipment were chosen that would allow the canteen to provide a wide variety of meals and adapt their menu without any disruption to the kitchen.
Should there be a requirement, the BBC can change any item of equipment as and when they choose, while 24/7 technical support provided by PKL, keeps the BBC safe in the knowledge that they will remain fully operational.

Modular Kitchen and Service Station
Commercial kitchen rental services from PKL have allowed them to provide many facilities. After a fire completely destroyed the MOTO service station at Birchwood, PKL rebuilt a complete temporary facility. Every area of the service station was designed, provided and constructed by PKL, creating a complete modular temporary structure. The complete facility included, kitchen and dining area, snack shop and male, female and disabled toilets, including baby change room.
The PKL built facility was operational within 3 weeks of the initial phone call, using traditional building methods this would have taken over 12 months.
PKL assign a Project Manager to all commercial kitchen rental projects to ensure all processes run smoothly from initial design through to installation and commissioning. A time line and mandatory health and safety information are provided at the beginning of every commercial kitchen rental project along with risk assessments, method statements and a safety plan for the works.
