PfP Students has appointed senior industry figure Philip Hillman as an adviser to support its growth in the purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) sector.
Hillman (main picture) brings more than 35 years’ experience from JLL, where he held a number of senior leadership roles, including Chairman of Living Capital Markets and Chairman of Alternatives.
During his time at JLL, he also led the firm’s student housing team and was involved in some of the largest transactions in the PBSA market.
In his new role, Hillman will provide strategic insight to PfP Students, focusing on strengthening its commercial strategy, building sector relationships and supporting partnerships.
CUSTOMER VALUE
He will also contribute to initiatives aimed at improving organisational effectiveness and enhancing customer value.
Eamonn Tierney, Managing Director at PfP Students, says: “Philip brings extensive PBSA experience and a highly regarded network across the sector.
“His support will help us further refine our proposition, strengthen engagement with key partners at an exciting time for PfP Students, alongside our continued investment in platforms, technology and the customer experience.
“Key to all of this is ensuring student wellbeing is central to everything we do, creating environments where residents feel supported and able to thrive.”
CLEAR AMBITION
Hillman adds: “PfP Students has a strong platform and clear ambition in a rapidly evolving sector. Its focus on student wellbeing and resident experience stands out.
“I look forward to supporting the team as they continue to develop their proposition and build on future opportunities.”
PfP Students, part of the Places for People Group, said the appointment supports its ongoing expansion across the PBSA market and its focus on student wellbeing through initiatives such as its Room to Belong campaign.
