NUS Services
Owned by over 200 students’ unions and NUS, NUS Services is the forerunner of the student market. NUS Services made £2.5 million for the student movement and tries to set itself apart from many other commercial organisations by leading from a democratic perspective; their strategy is led by shareholders and directed by a board and committees composed of volunteers from NUS' shareholder unions.
They provide three core services:
- Collective purchasing
- Support services
- Marketing services
The Association for Managers in Students' Unions recently merged with NUS and NUS Services.

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
