Healthcare Estates Exhibition a Success!

ModuleCo Ltd (formerly PKL Healthcare) recently attended a successful two days at this years Healthcare Estates Conference and Exhibition in Harrogate. ModuleCo exhibited to promote their healthcare modular buildings along side part of the foodservice division (Kitchen FM) of associate company PKL Group (UK) Ltd.

Kitchen FM allows a hospital to have a fully functional and maintained catering capability without the need for capital spend. Regular servicing, routine & emergency maintenance and technical support are all included in the Kitchen FM contract. It gives the hospital peace of mind of knowing exactly how much their catering facilities will cost each month and is flexible enough to be expanded or reduced at any time.

Steve Tilley, ModuleCo's Sales Manager, commented, "We had a tremendous two days. Not only do you meet new contacts, it is a great opportunity to catch up with previous clients and contacts to let them know about our recently completed healthcare modular building projects."

ModuleCo will be exhibiting again at next years Healthcare Estates Conference and Exhibition.
