In light of recent events, many businesses are taking steps to remain open and available to customers - and Bunkabin is no different. Here we explain how we will continue to operate while protecting our employees and customers, including a look at some of the work we’ve been doing to help those tackling the pandemic.
Bunkabin will remain open for business and dedicated to assisting companies and residents with their accommodation needs throughout Great Britain. Unfortunately, we cannot host any site visits other than deliveries, but the office is open and contactable by telephone and emails as normal.
We are monitoring all staff temperatures before work, have hand cleaning stations by each workstation and have the canteen, toilets, doors and other frequent touchpoints cleaned several times a day.
With the situation constantly changing, we have been working hard to ensure we remain open to support the unprecedented demand from healthcare providers, the government and other essential services across the UK.
So far, we have been supporting the NHS and other organisations by providing units to several hospitals across the country, as well as more than 600 units to HM Prison Service to support their ability to ensure social distancing.
In addition, we have been providing support to the local community during these difficult times by donating rental vehicles to local volunteers who are providing the elderly with services, such as dropping off shopping and other supplies.
We have also joined forces with a network of event organisers and suppliers in the north west to assist with requests from the NHS, local government, charities and other organisations that need support right now. The group includes suppliers that have access to the following:
Generators
Furniture
Communications equipment
Tents and marquees
Outdoor and indoor lighting
Vehicles
Staging equipment
Medical and ambulance supplies
Heating equipment
Venue dressing
The group can also provide services relating to security, medical, AV engineering, traffic management, project management, freelancing networks, transportation and volunteer management, as well as many others.
Since launch, Events 4 COVID-19 has begun or completed work on more than 20 projects. Together with IQ Student Accommodation, Bunkabin donated 19 beds, 27 pillows, duvets and linen, which were delivered by ExcluSec Group to a women-only refuge project by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority.
The health, safety and wellbeing of our employees, customers and the general public is and will always be a number one priority. We will continue to review our response to the coronavirus pandemic in line with government guidelines, and are regularly assessing the situation to ensure we are operating in the safest possible way.
We would like to thank all of our employees, customers and suppliers for their ongoing support, commitment and dedication. Everyone at Bunkabin is incredibly proud to be supporting our nation through this challenging time.
Testimonials
We approached Bunkabin in 2015 to deliver a turnkey accommodation solution for our performers from around the world who were performing at Her Majesty The Queen’s 90th Birthday Celebrations at Windsor this year. Subsequently 200 Bunkabins were ordered and work started on the planning of such a major logistical operation. In 22 days, 200 Bunkabins, complete with bedding kits, were delivered and installed and when our performers arrived they were amazed that we could offer an on-site solution that offered everything they needed. It made for a real village atmosphere with all nations joining together and we couldn’t have asked for more.
Bunkabins drivers were amazing – taking great care when loading and offloading not to damage the grass in the Private Grounds of Her Majesty The Queen and all in all the Bunkabins worked perfectly

Over the last 6 years we have increased the Student Village from initially 30 up to currently 274 en-suite Student Sleepers. The Student Village Company provide us with a flexible accommodation capacity, so as long as we have land available, we no longer need to turn away a student because of accommodation shortages.
It is very difficult to predict exact intake numbers however The Student Village Company are able to provide additional capacity only a few weeks before freshers week. The decking, canopy and decals make an enormous difference. The students love them.
