Mark Simpson explains how service-accommodation properties pivoted during early COVID by increasing cleaning time, leaving units empty 1-2 days between guests, and supplying hand sanitizer. He pitched them to the NHS at ÂŁ550 a day as a cheaper alternative to hospital overflow.
ÂŁ2,000 a month.
Roughly ÂŁ550 a day.
Two days (up from one day).
So, one is the cost. The next thing is if we can provide a service. And how you package your properties up would be different, depending on where you are and what your property is like. But if it's done in such a way that we go in, we spend extra time on the cleaning, we leave it empty two days before anyone goes in to try and kill the virus, and again, might stay in paper for seven days, we don't know, and perhaps that's not been proven yet, but you're providing a safe, clean, sterile environment that is ready for someone to go into. So it may not be critical patients that are going from hospitals, but hospitals need to decant these patients that can't go home. And before the coronavirus, we were working on a situation for some NHS authorities where if we can provide them a service accommodation unit for ÂŁ2,000amonth, you're saving the NHS money. And this was our pitch because it's roughly ÂŁ550 a day, so we need to create stale out environments. It could be not even hospitals, but you're contacting companies that say, our big thing, it's an alternative to a hotel. So. And again, we don't know what's happening with hotels. But nice, simple thing, nice, simple pitch, this is ours. If you go to a hotel, then there's people coming and going. You don't know who stayed there before. But here's the thing, your cleaner's going to be in every day. What is that cleaner doing? They're probably cleaning 40 different rooms in that hotel. What do cleaners do? They touch the dirtiest surfaces, the surfaces most likely to have corona. They will be cleaned up. Cleaning at a very, very short time span. That doesn't happen in our service accommodation unit. We spent. We've upped the budget for the cleaners, so they're getting double the time. We're giving you hand sanitizer if we can. We leave time between the previous guests for the virus to naturally die off and we up that from one day to two, based on scientific stuff. So lots of different things you can do. But again, look at it as solving problems. We are not profiteering, but we do have businesses.
