At PfP Students (formally Derwent FM and Derwent Students), we provide a complete wraparound service for the higher education sector - supporting students, universities, colleagues, investors, and landlords.
We’re one of the few organisations serving the whole sector: not only managing high-quality student accommodation, but also academic sites and wider educational facilities. Our approach spans property and facilities management through to wellbeing-led student services, creating environments where people and institutions can thrive.
As part of Places for People, the UK’s leading Social Enterprise, we combine scale, expertise, and a proven track record. That means student-first, partner-focused solutions you can trust - designed to meet the needs of the sector today, and tomorrow.
