Results are in: meet your new BPCA Board representatives 2025

ASSOCIATION

BPCA members have had their say – and the results are now in.

Over the past week, 13 candidates from across the pest management sector put themselves forward to stand in the 2025 BPCA Executive Board elections.

Now, six new Member Directors have been chosen to help lead the Association and represent the interests of BPCA members at the highest level.

The successful candidates are:

  • Peter Bowers-Davis from Integrum Services
  • Jason Cholerton from CSS Pest Services  
  • Adrian Gough from Pest Risk Management Group
  • Alan Morris from Envu  
  • Karolien van der Vorm from 360 Wildlifecontrol  
  • Christopher Venables from Venables Pest Control.

Chris Cagienard, BPCA President, said:

The last few weeks have been a brilliant reminder of what makes BPCA truly special - members stepping up to lead and shape our shared future. This election shows that it doesn’t matter if you’re part of a small servicing business or a major manufacturer – every member has the opportunity to stand, vote and make a difference.

Chris Cagienard, BPCA President

He continued: 

“I’m confident the newly elected Directors will bring energy, insight and a real passion for moving the Association forward. Congratulations to all the successful candidates.

“And to those who weren’t elected this time, thank you for standing. I hope you’ll continue to get involved, whether that’s on a Committee, in a Special Interest Group, or by putting your name forward again in future.”

What’s next?

The new Board members will meet their fellow Directors at the end of June, be inducted over the summer and join their first full Board meeting in September.

Each Director will serve a three-year term. At the end of that term, they’ll either step down or stand for re-election, ensuring that the Board regularly benefits from fresh voices and new perspectives.

Rosina Robson, BPCA Chief Executive, said:

A strong and effective trade association relies on the participation and engagement of its members. This election is a great example of how engaged our community is.

She continued: 

“Running for a seat on the Board is no small thing - it’s a significant commitment of time and effort. I’m hugely grateful to everyone who put themselves forward and everyone who voted.

“It’s only through democratic elections like this that BPCA can truly represent and champion the sector. The enthusiasm and professionalism on display throughout this process has been inspiring.”

WANT TO GET INVOLVED?

Not elected this time? There are still plenty of opportunities to get involved.

BPCA Committees and Special Interest Groups are always looking for passionate and proactive members to help steer key projects and champion issues that matter to our sector.
