learn about us
We’ve come a long way since our Founder Raffaele Russo started letting and managing properties from his Loughborough University bedroom! Always a creative and entrepreneurial spirit, Raffaele opened our first office in 2008 with great ambitions for the business. Since then, we’ve grown significantly, we now have over 8,000 tenants living with us and we manage over 2,500 properties across Loughborough, Durham, Bristol, Nottingham, Manchester, Leeds, Bath, Cardiff, Newcastle, Birmingham, Liverpool, Leicester, Lincoln, Hull, Exeter, Swansea and Aberystwyth.

I joined Loc8me 2 months ago as the Accounts Manager from a completely different sector. The support I have received from my line Manager, Helen has been amazing. Helen has gone over and above in supporting my transition into the business and is always open to new ideas and suggestions, encouraging confidence so that I can bring in positive changes to my team and the business. Loc8me is a great company to work for and very passionate in what they do, which is very evident across the business. I am looking forward to my journey with Loc8me and building relationships with both internal and external stakeholders.
