History
The Unite Group was founded by Nicholas Porter in Bristol, England, in 1991.[4] Aged 21 and following research with the University of the West of England, he recognised a growing demand for student accommodation.[5] After a period of expansion within Bristol, in 1998 Unite opened its first properties in London. It listed on the Alternative Investment Market the following year.[6]
