Showcasing the best in the industry

The National Pest Awards recognise achievement across a wide range of categories, from individual technicians through to large businesses and local authority teams.

Categories this year include Pest Controller of the Year, Small Company of the Year, Sustainability Initiative of the Year and Innovation of the Year, alongside honours such as the Lifetime Achievement Award and Unsung Hero of the Year.

There are also dedicated categories recognising sole traders, young pest professionals and businesses demonstrating excellence in diversity and inclusion.

BPCA backing industry recognition

The British Pest Control Association (BPCA) is a proud supporter of the awards and is encouraging members to get involved.

Rosina Robson, Chief Executive of BPCA, said:

“The National Pest Awards are a brilliant opportunity to recognise the professionalism, skill and dedication that exists right across our sector. Every day, pest professionals are protecting public health, supporting businesses and solving complex problems, often without much fanfare.

“We know there are outstanding individuals and teams across our membership, so I’d really encourage people to put themselves forward or nominate someone who deserves recognition. It’s a chance to celebrate the work you do and to showcase the very best of our industry."
