John Parkes, Director of Business Development at Barkwith Associates, said:

"Our aims remain the same today as our first - to provide a clear, pragmatic approach and solutions to regulatory hurdles.

"Barkwith Associates is really looking forward to meeting clients old and new at PestEx in this our 20th anniversary year.

"Our owner and founder, ‘Murray Brown’ will be at stand 61, so come along and chat to us about biocides, regulations or anything you like really!"
