Accommodation for Teams and Extended Projects
Corporate accommodation works particularly well for project teams who need to work and live together over a defined period. A managed house in Exeter provides a shared base, reduces per-person costs significantly compared to hotel rooms, and allows teams to maintain a normal working and living routine during the project.
Extended stays of 4 to 12 weeks are common for visiting specialists, construction supervisors, consultants, and NHS locum teams. During that period, a managed house with broadband, a full kitchen, and reliable maintenance support makes a practical difference to the team's experience and productivity.

Corporate Invoicing and Business Bookings
Gillams accepts corporate bookings and can invoice companies, staffing agencies, NHS trusts, and other organisations directly. This removes the administrative burden of employee expense claims and ensures the accommodation is set up properly for business accounting purposes.
To discuss a corporate booking, contact us with your required dates, number of people, and preferred Exeter area. We will advise on availability, invoicing options, and whether a particular property is the right fit for your team's needs.
