We were thrilled to chat with Jobs and Careers Magazine about how we're not just creating the Best Year Yet for our residents but for our people too- all through our experience obsession. Matt Merrick talks about how crucial it is for both our employees and our customers experience to complement each other and explains that, “Having highly engaged teams, who understand the role they individually play in achieving the company vision, whether in one of our properties, or in our Support office team, is key to delivering the fantastic customer experience we are renowned for. We seek out people who are passionate about customer experience, so that we can keep pushing the boundaries to deliver even more moments that matter for our residents, and truly give them their best year yet.” #ItsAniQThing #BuidlingItTogether #PeoplesPeople #TeamWork #PBSA #CareerOpportunities #EmployeeValues Read the full article including an interview with our Operations Director, Ollie Humphries below (pages 42 - 43). https://lnkd.in/eBnTnWpd Experience Obsession - It's an iQ Thing! #jobsandcareers #ItsAniQThing #BestYearYet #ExperienceObsession

Reimagining the student accommodation experience and giving our residents their best year yet.
About us
Every day, iQ Student Accommodation provides the best home-from-home environment from which 28,000 university students can confidently make the most of the opportunities open to them. We believe that the right setting helps them to learn, flourish and to make the most of their time at university. As one of the largest providers of student accommodation in the UK, we operate 67 sites in 27 locations, with our most recent development having just opened in Glasgow City Centre. Our residents join us from all over the UK and from over 120 different nations. We put students first – delivering a range of safe, well-located and high quality accommodation. We believe that the right environment is important in how students experience university – not just through the quality of their rooms or the proximity to the university campus, but in the way students feel whilst they are living in the accommodation. This belief is at the centre of the business, and we build the student experience around it. We make it as easy as possible for students to make new friends by creating a sense of community through building design, leisure facilities, events and shared study and relaxation spaces. Parents have peace of mind knowing that we provide safe, comfortable and well-maintained environments for their children, including having management or security staff onsite around the clock. We are a more than 550-strong team, with headquarters in London and Manchester, and we are proud of our commitment to developing truly customer-centric teams – it’s why are so focused on building a winning team and culture, and investing in innovative training. Our dedicated site teams across the UK mean that we have a deep local understanding of our markets. With unrivalled training and passionate teams who enjoy having fun, it’s a very exciting time to join us.

Yesterday Matthew Loughlin, our Chief Development Officer, joined the iQ Estates & Development team and GRAHAM Group in Glasgow to celebrate the topping out of our 551 bed Bath Street development. Matt said, 'Just 12 months ago this team was here at the ground breaking ceremony and it's exciting to think that in another 12 months we will be back here to celebrate the practical completion, ready to welcome students for their 25/26 academic year. This is an important investment for iQ Student Accommodation, not only providing more student beds in Glasgow and aiding the significant undersupply in the city but furthers our investment in Scotland, taking our student beds in the country up to nearly 3000.

12 of our iQers were at the Pride Parade in London last weekend wearing the Pride 2024 winning bucket hat design from Josh Canavan and Charles Buncher and we didn’t want to miss the chance to show that we’re loud and proud of them! It was a great opportunity for iQers from across the UK got together to show our support and celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community. UniQue Working Group member Matthew Niemann, MSci GMBPsS. shared what it meant the day meant to him, “Time like this, being with iQ feels like one big family and nothing highlights this more than at events like Pride. It was such an amazing day filled with laughter, smiles and Love. The team did an amazing job and we are all looking forward to next year’s Pride!” Our UniQue Working Group are already working on the next event, Black History Month, to ensure that everyone at iQ feels like they can bring their whole selves to work. #ItsAniQThing #Pride2023 #LGBTQIA+ #inclusiveculture #celebratediversity #celebratetogether #community Amber Parker-Marshall Bethany Bennington Pitchaya Young Caroline Westwood Chloe Beachell Chloe Mann Grzegorz Staszczyk Harley Summers Phillipa Scott Robert Hay

In addition, there are a variety of dynamic communal spaces including games room, study spaces, gym, cinema, music room and laundry, as well as a communal terrace at 4th floor, with bespoke outdoor kitchen and yoga zone. It is an honour to be nominated, and to win is incredible. We're now looking forward with baited breath for the national awards later this year!

CEO at iQ Student Accomodation. Investor and advisor in student accommodation, health and medtech sectors
Have to say, JLL and Human Race Ltd put on another fantastic real estate triathlon at Dorney Lake today. The iQ Student Accommodation team were out in full force and I was pleased to see plenty of merch on show including our fabulous Pride bucket hats, our #bestyearyet pink socks, and of course lots of iQ hoodies. Also great to see other Blackstone companies like Logicor and Indurent (Industrials REIT and St. Modwen Logistics) putting out some excellent teams. As for the performance, it wasn’t a personal best but I blame that on the high wind on the up-stretch of the Dorney circuit (and nothing to do with the fact that the bike has been in the garage since last years event!). Must do better next year! Much credit to my speedster team mates Eve Reed and Heather McKim for keeping us in the mix, to Arancha Greene for her excellent organisation skills, and to all those that represented iQ today. Well done guys, great job.

And even more to come with iQers from across the UK getting together in London this weekend to show our support and celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community at this year's Pride Parade! #Pride2024 #InclusiveEmployers #UniQue #BuildingitTogether
CEO at iQ Student Accomodation. Investor and advisor in student accommodation, health and medtech sectors
Really proud of our uniQue working group here at iQ Student Accommodation for their efforts in championing equality, equity, diversity and inclusivity across our business. This month, in celebration of Pride, we ran a competition across the business to design a bit of merch that would highlight our commitment to diversity and inclusivity here at iQ and would also tell a bit of a story about our culture. According to the winning designers Josh Canavan and Charles Buncher the residual white space in our bucket hat logo (as modelled by yours truly) offered a safe and supportive space for our inclusive community to grow and evolve into the future. Really well done guys, fantastic job! P.s. think I need a bigger size, or a smaller head!

An exciting update from the McLaren Construction Group team in Warwick. #PBSA #Buildingittogether #StudentLiving
Longwood Close Progress Update! It’s great to see Longwood Close taking shape as the first six of nine buildings are well underway. Block J and D concrete frames are now complete with steel frame systems and window installation in full flow. Brickwork has also commenced to the first two blocks. All six concrete frames are on course to be complete by September with the three lightweight steel frames following close behind. In addition to this, internal fitout has commenced in Block J with partitions and M&E first fix and 160-bathroom pods have been craned into place with that figure rising rapidly week on week. Once complete the project will create a high quality student accommodation delivered on behalf of McLaren Property for iQ Student Accommodation.

#SocialMobilityDay is about equality, opportunity and fostering a culture where individuals can achieve their potential, regardless of where their journey began. We're proud to be on this journey to level the playing field, and are excited about the impact our second year of the iQ Thrive Academy, in partnership with upReach, is able to make. Through the Academy, we are able to create the opportunity for 80 undergraduates from less-advantaged backgrounds to access top graduate jobs, access to mentors and access to our buildings. This year we have also doubled our free accommodation bursaries offered to 20 associates. Hear from some of our iQ Thrive Academy Associates about how the programme is making a difference in their lives and the importance of supporting social mobility so far. #iQThriveAcademy #SocialMobilityDay #ShareMoments #LevelThePlayingField #PBSA #GiveBack #iQThrive

At iQ we want to make an impact. For our iQers. For our residents. For the wider community. That's why for this year's Volunteers Week we're not only saying thank you to all of our fantastic iQ Volunteers, we're launching our new volunteering platform, Neighbourly too. The Neighbourly platform will go further to enable iQers to support our charity partners Shout UK, Student Minds and upReach through their volunteering as well as in their local communities, for causes they are passionate about. We're excited to level up our social and sustainable impact, and get neighbourly across the UK. #iQThrive #iQGiveBack #VolunteersWeek #SocialImpact #VolunteerAppreciation
