2. When Maryann decided to leave the Corporate World and return to running her own Consultancy Business, one of the
partnersthatshedecidedtoworkwithwasDinaMareeofPasticheInteriors.
HavingworkedwithDinapreviously,whileatWechsler,MaryannandDinaprovedtobeagreatfit,andalthoughtheydon’t
do many projects together any more they remain close work friends and would recommend each other for any and every
projectthatcamealong.
Oneoftheir‘JointVentures’wasworkingonanumberofjobsforasmallGroupofCompanies
thathaveholdingSubsidiariesinZambia.ExportingEquipment,Crockery,CutleryandGlassware
onanon-goingsupply.
Maryann has worked with Robert Taylor from RT Kitchens over the past 15
years.
During this time they have formed a close working relationship and tackle
each project with enthusiasm and confidence. Working like a well oiled
machine. Maryann does the Designs and all Shop Fitting Detail Drawing
andSpecificationsandRobertwithhisteamthenbringthedesignstolife.
Robert has worked with Maryann on both Legacy’s Labadi Beach as well as the Buffet at La
PalminGhana.
One of the most innovative designs and implementation was the ‘Self Cooling, Self-Contained
RefrigeratedIceWells’.
Robert also worked with Maryann and Wechsler on the
Shop Fitting of all the fixed and Mobile Counters for FNB
Learning and Training Centre in Sandton. One of the
many ‘Specialist’ units was for the Beverage Counter,
which housed ‘pull-out’ Shop Fitted Face Fronts, that
carriedaselectionofStandardGlassandCupRacks
within. This allowed for replacement Racks to be brought from the kitchen Wash-up area carrying
cleancupsandglasses,withouttoomuchdisruptiontotheStaffDiners.
This Ice-Well design and concept was first used by Maryann more than 25 years ago when she made a double sided
Refrigerated Ice-Well which sucked the surrounding air through side vents on the body of the Stainless steel Well. The air was

3. When Maryann first decided to branch out on her own, she formed a Company called TDC (Total Design Concepts).
AlargepartofherworkcamefromtheAngloAmericanGroup,basedinJohannesburg.
After being recommended by one of the Sales Representatives at Vulcan President, Maryann was interviewed by
the then Manager of Corporate Services, Nick Preston, and awarded the contract to Design the up-graded Kitchen,
Staff Food Court, three Dining areas and the Coffee Bar. Her work on these projects proved to be so successful that
the Client then asked Maryann if she would be prepared to work on the upgrading of all the Offices, which she readily
acceptedashernextchallenge.
Becoming the ‘Preferred Designer’ for
many of these Catering Companies as
well as the renowned equipment
Suppliers.
Maryann believes that there is no such
thing as a ‘small’ job. All projects large
and small all get the attention it
deserves and the expertise necessary
tomakeitasuccess.
Maryann ended up working for Anglo America for over 5 years. During this time she also did their ‘Corporate Box’ at Ellis
Park as well as some of their ‘Guest Flats’ in Brynston, a ‘Game Lodges’ and the Office blocks at 44 Main Street, 45 Main
Street,47MainStreet,55MarshallStreetandTheClinic.
During these years, Maryann worked with Vulcan President (Ponti Prison, The Dome CPK),
Electrolux (Monticasino & Zimbali Lodge), KDH Design, Fedics, Sodexho & Royal Food Services,

4. The first 100% COOK-
CHILL Operation in
Southern Africa.
The brief for this Kitchen,
was to be able to feed
5000 diners all within 7
minutes.
Design Consultant - Started the Design Department for this Contract Catering Company. This
also saw the ‘start’ of the Computerized Drafting Layouts. Meeting Clients, both ‘new’ and
existing.
Designing Layouts, Service Drawings, Equipment Specifications. Negotiating the best prices
from Manufacturers and Suppliers and thereafter Implementing the installation of the ‘new’
Kitchens, Serverys or Boardroom. Assisting with Decor and Designs as well as advising on
Crockery,Cutlery,Glassware,TableTopandKitchenandServery‘Smalls’.
Maryann worked on this project for more than three years. From
traveling to the UK and Europe to study the ‘Cook-Chill’ process of
CookingandRe-generationoffood.WorkedwithBobKingsburyfrom
‘Foster Refrigeration’ in the UK, drawing up and compiling the ‘Brief’,
which would become the ‘standards’ on which the Kitchen and it’s
Designwouldbebased.
Not only did Maryann Design, and Specify the Main Central Production
Kitchen and the seven Satellite Regeneration Kitchens, but she drew up
the Specifications which would go out for Tender for not only the
Equipment, but for the Crockery, Cutlery, Glassware, Table Top and
Kitchen‘smalls’.
This incredibly learning curve would later stand her in good stead, when she
was hired to design the NDAH (New Durban Academic Hospital) in Cato
Manor, Durban. This was to be the second 100% Cook-Chill Production
Kitchen in Southern Africa. Once again drawing up all the Specifications,
overseeingtheTenderprocessandadjudicatingtheTenders.
The NDAH was to become one of the largest Teaching Hospitals in Southern
