About the Client

Host Students is a trusted name in student accommodation across the UK and Europe. They’ve built a reputation for creating spaces where students actually feel at home, not just somewhere to sleep between lectures.

Their commitment to quality hasn’t gone unnoticed. Host is rated a Gold Operator by Global Student Living and recently won Best Private Housing 2025, awards based entirely on feedback from their residents. That’s a big deal in the student housing world.

Beyond providing comfortable rooms and supportive teams, Host takes safety seriously. They understand that students who are living away from home for the first time need to feel secure in their surroundings. Their Leicester site is a prime example of this commitment.

The accommodation is more than just buildings. It’s a community where students study, socialise, and build friendships. And like any community, it needs to be safe.

Understanding the Security Challenges

Student accommodation facilities operate under dynamic pressures where resident safety, privacy, and community atmosphere must be carefully balanced.

Host identified key security considerations at their Leicester accommodation hub:

  • Preventing Unauthorised Access: Making sure only residents, authorised visitors and contractors can access the premises in order to safeguard students’ safety and property.
  • Managing Antisocial Behaviour: Reducing late-night disturbance and noisy activity or any other unauthorised meetings to maintain a quiet environment for study and rest.
  • Maintaining a Welcoming Environment: Security officers had to be friendly and polite, providing students with a comforting presence instead of a menacing visual one.
  • Rapid Incident Response: Having trained guards available at the premises to deal with any security incidents and building emergencies.

Our Solution

Our Leicester security team provided a tailored static concierge security and patrolling service designed specifically for multi-tenant residential and student living environments.

Front-of-House Concierge & Access Management

The static security guards serve the reception and access points by offering a friendly but professional welcome to all while keeping strict control of who enters the property. Guards can efficiently restrict unauthorised people from entering the building by verifying their credentials.

Internal & External Foot Patrols

Guards perform foot patrolling of the entire building interior as well as exterior to provide security. Guards do this to prevent vandalism, theft, fire hazards, and noise issues.

Adaptable, Client-Aligned Security Staff

Our SIA-licensed guards were fully briefed on Host’s specific site procedures and escalation routes. Trained in customer service, conflict resolution, and safeguarding, our team acts as a seamless extension of Host’s on-site management team.

The Results

Since we started working with Host, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.

  • Residents feel safer: Students know that they are living in a safe place and that people will take care of them.
  • A calm, welcoming environment: We manage to do it because our guards are friendly but at the same time professional.
  • A partnership that works:  Host has trusted us for nearly a year, and they’re planning to continue. That kind of loyalty says everything.
