The categories Cleankill has been named a finalist in are:

• Business of the Year Over £1m
• The Award for Customer Delight
• Employee of the Year (Josh Bates)
• Business Person of the Year (Paul Bates).

Paul Bates, Managing Director of Cleankill Pest Control, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to reach the finals of four categories. We have made the finals in previous years but not in four categories, so we are hopeful that we can win at least one award. We won’t know until the exciting moment when the winner is announced and is asked to go on stage whether we’ve won.

“We believe in what we do and operating with honesty and transparency while delivering the best possible service. It’s great to have this ratified by independent peers from different industries.” 

Cleankill will find out on 20 March at a ceremony at the Grand Hotel in Brighton, whether it has won any of the awards which will be presented by celebrity host and magician Ben Hanlin.

The Gatwick Diamond is home to a vast range of businesses spanning all sectors of the economy, from household names to niche companies, and from multinationals to sole traders.

All award finalists will have shown innovation and inspiration in their work and demonstrated a real commitment to this world-class economic area.

As a long-standing Gatwick Diamond member, Cleankill is making sure the evening gets off to a flying start by sponsoring a pre-dinner reception. 

Sally Brown, Director and General Manager of Gatwick Diamond Business said: “We would like to thank all the people who took time out of their busy schedules to prepare and submit awards entries this year and congratulate those who have been selected as finalists in each category.

The entries get stronger year on year so that in itself is a huge achievement and worthy of celebration.”

All Cleankill’s staff are highly trained and offer an exceptionally fast and efficient level of service. The company is proud of being approved to ISO9001 and ISO14001 while Cleankill’s certification as an Altius Elite Vendor places it among a select group of service providers in the country. 

Cleankill is also fully accredited to the Safecontractor, Constructionline and Achilles Health and Safety schemes and aims to be recognised as a market leader for innovation and new pest control techniques.
