Ormskirk's McComb Students have been nominated for the award of “Best Small Provider” in the prestigious National Student Housing Survey - and have made the final four for the UK.

More than 30,000 students voted and the winners will be announced during the awards ceremony on 10^thSeptember.

Director, Paul McComb, told QLocal this afternoon: “We are so proud and excited to be a finalist for the UK’s Best Small Provider.

"Ormskirk is officially recognised as having the UK’s best University Halls with Edge Hill University and also the best private accommodation with McComb Students.

"Our management team have superb relationships with our student tenants and it is amazing to be recognised for all their hard work. We have a strong focus on the student experience and thoroughly enjoy going the extra mile to make our tenants and their parents feel safe, cared for and valued.

"All our tenants abide by our behaviour policy and thoroughly enjoy giving back to the town such as volunteering for our annual Ormskirk Senior Citizens Christmas lunch in the Civic Hall.

"We are Ormskirk’s largest provider of student accommodation and all our student properties are located within the town centre above retail units or in former commercial properties that required substantial investment to bring back to life.

"Our latest project is a £5m refurbishment of 15-27 Moor St in the town centre which will be completed in September 2019 and will dramatically improve the appearance of a dilapidated building.

"We are the only accommodation provider in Ormskirk accredited by the National Code of Student Accommodation Providers and also registered with the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors.

"Both accreditations have a code of conduct for best management practice which we are proud to serve our clients with to ensure our standards remain the highest they can possibly be.”
