Julia was included in the Outstanding Member Contribution category; this is category for women nominated by their trade associations for their dedicated and continued contributions to their respective associations and sectors.

"I'm proud to be on this prestigious list of women, and want to thank Ian Andrew and BPCA for nominating me," says Julia.

"Over the last seven years, I have volunteered my time to the Executive Board of BPCA, contributing to the strategy for our industry. It's been both rewarding and challenging.

"This year I was very pleased to be joined by two amazing women, Anna Mollins and Rebekah Carral and I'm looking forward to their contributions."

During her seven year tenure on the Board Julia has also chaired the Outreach and Communications Committee, and is the current Chair of the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion committee, focused on helping BPCA members recruit and retain talent. 

Lorraine Norton, BPCA Operations Manager, commented:

"Julia is a valued member of our Exec Board and a dedicated volunteer to BPCA. Her passion for the pest control industry is commendable and she 100% deserves to be recognised on this list for her contributions to the sector. 

"Well done, Julia!"
