September at loc8me: New city, new systems, and bold steps forward 🍊

Hey everyone 👋 welcome back to the loc8me newsletter.

This month we’ve got plenty to shout about: a brand-new city joining the map, big moves for landlords, a growing contractor list, and some bold steps in marketing!

HubSpot has landed 🚀

Big shoutout to our team for getting us rolling with HubSpot. It’s not just another system, it’s about keeping things smooth, simple, and making sure no one’s left chasing endless email threads. Efficiency = more time to focus on people, not paperwork.

Turning the UK orange with another city added to our list 🏙️

September marked a huge milestone: we’ve expanded into our 16th city → Exeter! We are super excited to learn a new market and bring the loc8me energy to another city. If you’re a landlord (or know one) looking for a fresh approach to student housing in Exeter, we’d love to chat.

Investing more into landlords 🧡

On 14th October we’ll be at the National Landlord Investment Show in Manchester with our friends at YieldMe . A chance to connect, share ideas, and strengthen relationships. If you’re there, come say hi 👋

We’re expanding our contractor list 🛠️

From roofers and electricians to plumbers, carpet fitters, and handymen, we’re always building our trusted network.

We pride ourselves on resolving maintenance issues quickly, and we want the best people on board. Know someone? Tag them below.

📣 We’re upping our marketing game

• The Microlino – Our tiny car is getting a Halloween makeover. Keep an eye on our Instagram and TikTok for the reveal 👻
• Merch incoming – We’re working on new uniform that our teams and students will actually want to wear and use.
• Reaching the billboards – We do marketing different at loc8me! If you’re around Leeds, see if you can find us (Clue: look up)👀

That’s September wrapped. One more city on the map, new faces in our network, and plenty more still to come. Thanks for being part of the journey, see you next month.
