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
