FORTUNE TURKEY: TURKISH VENTURE LONDONIST DMC EXPANDS FROM LONDON TO THE WORLD

Fortune Turkey covers Londonist DMC’s 2025 King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade and the company’s growth into a global student living brand. 

Londonist DMC’s 2025 King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade has been featured in the entrepreneurship section of Fortune Turkey, the Turkish edition of the global business magazine. 

The article explains the significance of the award. It is the highest official business honour in the UK, approved by His Majesty King Charles III on the Prime Minister’s recommendation. Fortune Turkey traces the company’s story back to 2013, when Turkish entrepreneur Asım Ertürk founded it in London. Today the company has offices in London, Istanbul and Shanghai, manages more than 2,000 rooms across 35+ residences, and serves students from over 170 countries. 

The piece also highlights the company’s student living ecosystem. Alongside accommodation, Londonist offers airport transfers, cleaning, laundry and storage, plus digital tools such as the Londonist App, Partner Portal, Student Portal, Ambassador App and AI-supported live chat. 

Asım Ertürk tells Fortune Turkey that the award is a great honour for a journey that began with just a few student rooms. He sees it as a reflection of both the company’s global success and its mission to make a difference in young people’s lives.
