We’re delighted to share an important development for Centrick. After years of close collaboration, we have now officially partnered with the Association for Rental Living (ARL) as their strategic content partner. The move strengthens our shared mission to champion best practice, raise standards, and support the ongoing evolution of rental living in the UK.
A Partnership Built on Shared Purpose
The ARL is widely recognised as the UK’s leading membership body for Build to Rent (BTR) and purpose-built rental living. Its members, including operators, investors, and service providers, contribute a depth of insight that helps shape training, research, and industry guidance across the sector.
At Centrick, we’ve always been committed to driving innovation and supporting professional standards in rental living, making this partnership a natural step in our journey to help improve the quality and perception of renting across the UK.
A Long-standing Relationship Formalised
Our involvement with the ARL is already well established. Centrick Founder Carina Ackrill serves as a Special Advisor to the ARL, and Jane Morcom, our Group Business Director, plays an active role on the Midlands Steering Hub Committee. Formalising our relationship allows us to further strengthen this collaboration and work together more strategically.
What This Partnership Means
As official content partners, Centrick will support the ARL in sharing its insight, events, research and industry initiatives with a wider audience. Together, we’ll work to:
- Shine a light on best practice across the rental living sector
- Promote key industry events, reports and guidance
- Support communication that helps elevate standards and professionalism
- Celebrate the people and organisations shaping the future of rental living
The goal is simple: to enhance engagement, improve visibility, and help ensure that the sector continues to progress in a meaningful and sustainable way.
Carina Ackrill, Founder of Centrick and ARL Special Advisor, commented:
We’re delighted to formalise our partnership with the ARL. Supporting an organisation that’s driving standards in rental living perfectly aligns with our values. Together, we can help amplify the ARL’s voice, share best practice, and champion higher standards across the sector.
Brendan Geraghty, ARL CEO, added:
Centrick’s expertise and enthusiasm for the rental living sector make them an ideal partner. Their insight and creativity will help us extend our reach, deepen engagement with our members and continue to promote the high standards that the ARL believe is vital to the continued growth and professionalism of rental living in the UK.
As a committed ARL member, Centrick has consistently showcased the value of membership by actively contributing to industry forums, supporting best practice initiatives, and helping to shape guidance that benefits both operators and residents. Their involvement in ARL committees, and support of events and various panel discussions, demonstrates a hands-on approach to collaboration and progress, highlighting the tangible benefits that come from being part of a forward-thinking, professional community dedicated to raising standards across the sector.
Looking Ahead
This partnership reinforces a shared vision… a rental living sector that is progressive, sustainable, and rooted in high standards.
By combining the ARL’s industry leadership with Centrick’s expertise in communication, marketing and property services, we’re working to make renting better for everyone – from operators and investors to residents and local communities.
We look forward to supporting and celebrating the people, projects, and innovations that continue to shape the future of rental living in the UK.
