BPMAs to return in 2019

Following the success of the inaugural British Pest Management Awards (BPMAs), it has now been confirmed that the process will run every other year in line with PestEx.

BPMAS return in 2019

The BPMAs were launched in Autumn 2016 and concluded with a ceremony at East Wintergardens on the shoulder evening of PestEx 2017.

Nominations for the 2019 BPMAs will open in Autumn next year and close in early 2019, and interested parties should join the mailing list to receive notifications.Due to the demand for tickets for the 2017 ceremony, the venue for the event is yet to be announced, especially if more categories are added to the existing awards:

  • Charles Keeble Award
  • Technician of the Year Award
  • Unsung Hero Award
  • Small Company of the Year Award
  • Company of the Year Award

From the feedback, we received about the event, it was clear that it wasn’t a case of if the Award’s were going to happen again, it was a case of when! It’s important to recognise that the BPMAs are for all professionals in the industry, not just BPCA members. We’re thankful to supporting organisations who help make the awards what they are.
