Bunkabin Targets Continued Success Following Stand-Out ScotPlant Debut

BUNKABIN is looking to dine out on the success of its ScotPlant debut with the promise of outdoing its 2024 showing – which saw visitors queuing out the door for tours of the company’s impressive portable accommodation units.

The Oldham-headquartered firm, which has been hiring out portable cabins and units for over 40 years, showcased its Bespoke Diner solution at ScotPlant 2024. The innovation – which features a stylish dining table and comfortable, high–quality facilities for construction workers – has since gone on to become one of Bunkabin’s most popular offerings. At the time of recent interview, all 16 were out on hire, with another seven being manufactured to meet demand.

Visitors to ScotPlant 2024 were able to tour the fully setup diner, as well as sleeping units featuring wraparound shelving, a side desk, wardrobe, and an en-suite bathroom complete with a mains-powered solution.

Bunkabin is returning for ScotPlant 2026with business development manager, Benjamin Rothwell, revealing the importance of securing the same stand location on 10th Avenue as last time.

“We’ve booked the same spot,” he said. “That was quite an exciting area – and I don’t think we could’ve picked a better spot where everyone comes in and we caught them on the way out as well.”
