Q: What do you feel it takes to be successful in the industry? Keeping true to our pioneering spirit and ethos of serving our customers. At SpareRoom we believe it’s important for people to be able to get on with what they need to do on the site (finding or renting out a room), so we don’t clutter it with advertising. We can be profitable without ripping off any customers or suppliers and aim to charge a fair price for our premium services.
