Accommodation for film and TV production crews

Irish industrial contractor

★★★★★

An Irish industrial contractor mobilising a crew to Limerick, on a project running from early July into August.

The Challenge

Eleven people needed furnished beds in Limerick from early July, held for a project running into August, with the crew housed close enough to the site to travel together. It was peak summer season, when Limerick prices are at their highest, and the market is small with a student-heavy supply base. Almost nothing was bookable at that size and duration through hotels or platforms, and no one was offering eleven beds held at a fixed rate for the length of the project.

The Solution

We sourced direct from local owners rather than platforms: three four-bed houses, close enough to the site for the crew to travel together, held at a fixed rate for the length of the project. Seven days from brief to start date, staggered check-ins coordinated with the owners, one WhatsApp channel during the stay, and one consolidated VAT-compliant invoice on 30-day terms. The stay came in 42 percent under what the same crew would have cost in short-stay inventory.

AIS Vanguard, part of Ainscough Industrial Services, is one of the UK's leading machinery relocation companies, delivering projects across Europe and the United States.

The Challenge

Their accommodation needs were often last-minute and spread across multiple locations, typically requiring upfront card payments, pulling project managers into day-to-day coordination with multiple hosts, and creating language barriers that made issues harder to resolve. Invoicing was fragmented, receipts had to be chased, and there was no leverage on rates or payment terms.

The Solution

Bonjour became their accommodation partner across the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, USA and beyond. We work with individual project teams to source accommodation tailored to the client's preferences, coordinate check-in and check-out directly with workers, and handle any property issues via WhatsApp during the stay. AIS Vanguard now benefits from one point of contact, consolidated VAT-compliant invoicing in their local currency, no upfront card payments and smoother multi-country delivery.
