MEMBERSHIP

The BPCA Member Award winners were announced at the festive special Digital Forum on 17 December 2025. 

The Awards celebrate positive contributions made by members to the Association and the wider pest management sector.

A number of awards were presented to winners of five different categories, as well as some highly commended entries.

Most of the award nomations are merit-based, with two of the awards open for nominations from the BPCA Staff team, Exec Board and Committees; the Special Contribution Award and the Life Member Award. 

BPCA Chief Exec, Rosina Robson, said: "We know our members work hard all year to deliver amazing service and protect public health, while maintaining their professional development and even volunteering on committees, special interest groups and more. 

"It's only right that those efforts are recognised, and these awards are our way of highlighting those members who have made extraordinary contributions to the Association and the sector.

"Congratulations to all the winners!"

Drumroll please...
