Kexgill Group is an award-winning student accommodation provider with properties in thriving student hubs in the North, as well as Europe. Kexgill are also engaged with growing a strong community for their student residents.
Beginning in 1978, Kexgill Group was founded by Dr. Mike Lee who was dissatisfied with the student accommodation during his studies. He created Kexgill with the aim to improve student living through more independent means as most student accommodation was managed by their universities. Almost 50 years later, the company has continued to provide quality accommodation to students across different cities as well as supplying students with a great experience through the community they build.
Trusted partnership backed by experience and tailored solutions
Aldermore has partnered with Kexgill since 2018, providing them with lending solutions for their student properties as well as offering a safe and secure place for their savings, offering them benefits from our specialist expertise across the bank. Richard Stott, Managing Director of Kexgill Group states: “Being able to grab a call or meet up with Ann Marie, Aldermore’s Corporate Deposits Specialist, is incredibly valuable. In a world increasingly driven by digital interactions and automation, having direct access to someone who genuinely understands your business and can provide tailored guidance makes all the difference. It’s that human connection — knowledgeable, approachable, and responsive — that truly sets Aldermore apart”.
Ann Marie Cook, our Corporate Deposits Specialist in the North of England said: “It’s been a pleasure to know and work with Kexgill- learning how much community within their student accommodation truly matters to them and how sustainability drives their business. Our strong relationship continues to build through understanding, trust and common goals."
Long-lasting relationship based on a shared vision
Kexgill’s partnership reflects a shared commitment with Aldermore and we're happy to continue supporting their values of providing students with a comfortable home and thriving community. We’re able to display and enhance our skills in bespoke financial services as investment in student accommodation is a complex venture that traditional lenders are often reluctant to supply. Kexgill also shares our intentions in pushing for more sustainable living. They aim to have an outdoor space with at least 1m² of wildlife friendly habitats on all of their properties in 2025 and to reduce annual water consumption by 8% by 2026.
Kexgill has been in the business for nearly half a century, but they have partnered with Aldermore for our specialist knowledge. “Having a banking partner with deep expertise, a proven track record in financing complex deals, and a genuine understanding of our needs and ambitions makes all the difference." Richard adds.
Michael Graham, our CRE Business Development Manager says about the continuation with our partnership with Kexgill: “It has been a real pleasure working as a partnership with Richard Stott and the Kexgill Group for the last couple of years and watching as the company goes from strength to strength, always evolving as the market changes and being ahead of the curve. Kexgill are a dynamic company (trading as the University Quarter in the UK) with strong ESG credentials, and a customer first approach, always going the extra mile to ensure students have the best experience. Banking is about helping great clients and people, achieve their business goals and that’s only possible when strong relationships are formed.”
