Congratulations to Our Company Award Winners 2024

Pest Solutions Company Awards 2024

2025 might be well underway, but there is always time to take a quick look backwards and celebrate the incredible individuals who contributed to a record-breaking 2024 for the company.

Last month we held our 2024 company awards during our Q1 service meeting at the Radstone Hotel with technicians, field biologists, account managers and office staff coming together from across the UK to catch-up on company news and celebrate each other’s achievements from the year just gone.

Our success at Pest Solutions has always been built on the strength of our teamwork, with communication between technicians out in the field, management staff, and the office team back at our Glasgow head office essential to the outstanding customer service reputation we have built up over the past 20+ years.

However, a team only thrives when the individuals in it are exceptional in their own right, and we are incredibly fortunate to have so many industry leaders in our ranks, frequently recognised across the UK pest control sector for their outstanding talent, knowledge, and commitment to training.

With that in mind, here are your 2024 Pest Solutions award winners! A massive congratulations to all those who picked up one of our shiny trophies and we can’t wait to see what new heights you can all reach in 2025 and beyond.

 

A huge thank you to our Sponsors
