Westborough, Massachusetts August 8, 2007

United Site Services, Inc. (USS), the nation's leading provider of portable restroom services, temporary fence, power and storage, has named Kevin Bruce as president and CEO, replacing Terry Bellora, who will continue for a period of time, in a strategic position supporting the company in acquisitions, transition and industry relations.

USS was purchased by DLJ Merchant Banking Partners in June 2006. Ed Johnson, a Managing Director of DLJ Merchant Banking Partners said, “When we purchased USS in 2006, Terry had agreed to stay on as the CEO until his successor was named, and we are grateful to Terry for his leadership and dedication to USS during this transition period from one owner to another. Working with Terry and the rest of the Board, we are very pleased to announce Kevin Bruce as Terry’s successor, and we are confident that Kevin can continue to build on the positive momentum that Terry and his team have created.”

“Terry has led USS through unprecedented growth during his tenure and helped develop the national footprint USS enjoys today,” said Bruce. “I’m excited to build on this legacy through acquisitions and continued improvements in efficiency, productivity and customer service.”

A seasoned distribution and service-based business executive, Bruce previously served as CEO of Strategic Equipment and Supply Corporation (Strategic), one of the foodservice industry’s leading providers of equipment, services and supplies. Under Bruce’s direction, Strategic achieved record levels of revenue, profit and customer satisfaction. He spearheaded the company’s growth strategy and focused on creating value in terms of purchasing power and operational efficiency. Prior to his five years with Strategic, Bruce served as a senior officer with several multi-billion dollar corporations including LSG Lufthansa/Sky Chefs, Pulte Corporation and PepsiCo. Bruce received his Bachelor of Science and MBA from the University of Southern California.

“The site services industry is a dynamic and expanding market,” added Bruce. “As the established leader, USS is poised for even more growth and success. Moving forward, we plan to vigorously invest in technology and product initiatives to ensure excellent service for our customers and a great working environment for our employees.”
