Our Partners
By developing strong partnerships with universities, businesses and charities, we’ve been able to deliver the best service and experience for our people, while growing into one of the biggest PBSA providers in the UK.
Strategic partners
We’re a developing company that’s continuing its growth across the UK. We have a focus on continually improving our service to our residents.
We want to build strong partnerships across the UK with trusted, ethical companies that share our mindset and values; companies that can deliver at-scale benefits that work for us both, and allow us to grow together, making sure we stay at the forefront of the PBSA sector.
Universities
We strive to provide the best student living experience at our properties, offering more than just a room. And, of course, the reason we have residents in the first place is because each person who chooses to stay with us is looking for suitable accommodation where they can be safe and comfortable during their university studies.
We work closely with universities across the UK in a variety of ways, including nomination and referral agreements, attendance at on-campus events and marketing activity that promotes both the institution in question and our properties. We're always looking to do more, partnering with universities in our cities even where a formal agreement isn't in place, so we can continue to enhance our support of students.
Charities
Giving back comes in many different shapes and sizes.
Whether it’s fundraising efforts in individual properties or cities to support local charities, or national charitable partnerships or awareness campaigns across Student Roost as a business, we have a responsibility to make a difference in our communities and around the world.
Our work on a local level encourages teams and residents to think holistically about our impact on societies, in the pursuit of lasting and meaningful change. For example, we promote sustainability by directing students to donate unwanted items to onsite donation boxes as part of the British Heart Foundation’s Pack For Good campaign; as a national partner of the charity, we have raised over £300,000 since 2015.
Our passion to make connections in our cities and towns is demonstrated by everything from partnering with local businesses enabling discounts and job opportunities for our residents, to staff and students collectively donating hundreds of blankets and towels to animal shelters in Belfast.
Suppliers
By working with high-quality suppliers, we can offer the high standard accommodation, award winning student experience and first-class customer service we’re known for, while not compromising on affordability for our residents.
From furniture and paint to cleaning materials and utilities, we trust and work closely with our suppliers to provide our properties and HQ teams with the essential items and services they need throughout the year.
