PRESS RELEASE

34 pgh-beegone-franchise

The PGH Beegone Limited franchise comprises of two well-established brands – PGH Pest Control & Prevention and Beegone Live Bee removal, both formed 14 years ago by Peter Higgs, as part of the Prince’s Trust Enterprise programme.

PGH Beegone use an environmentally-friendly approach to pest control and live bee removal – limiting the use of harmful chemicals wherever possible and resolving problems by providing preventative work for a long-term solution.

Peter recently won Entrepeneur Circle's Most Inspiring Business Person of the Year Award 2020.

Peter said: “I couldn’t be more excited that we’re ready to launch the franchise business and can’t wait to grow the PGH Beegone family.

"We see this as the perfect time, it’s been a turbulent year and many people are looking for a fresh start – the pest control and live bee removal industries have shown themselves to be both recession-proof and Covid-proof so this is a low risk strategy.

"I genuinely believe there’s no comparable franchise opportunity out there at the moment and this is a real gold mine for people looking to own a business who have the right attitude, the desire to make a difference and who are ready to reap the rewards of their hard work.”

If you’d like further information about becoming part of the PGH Beegone family, please get in touch with Franchise Business Development Lead, Caroline Szeremeta.
