31st January 2007

Merrychef USA has become the supplier of choice of accelerated cooking ovens for Global Hyatt Corp.'s newest brand, Hyatt Place.

Merrychef will provide several 402S ovens for each property. Hyatt Place Hotels are expected to have 120 units in the US by the end of this year.

"Hyatt Place is revolutionary on many levels, and one of its most innovative components is the food and beverage program" said John Vogelmeier, director of food and beverage operations for Select Hotels Group LLC, another Global Hyatt Corp. subsidiary. "Because of that we needed to make sure we chose the best partner to deliver on the array of high quality food items we offer our guests, and we're confident we made the right choice with Merrychef."

Dave McCulloch, chief executive of Enodis plc said, "This opportunity shows the power of our strategy to provide our customers with kitchen equipment solutions that enable unique consumer experiences. We believe that accelerated cooking technology will dramatically shape the future demand of new cooking equipment."
