We are proud to announce that PGM & SON Pest Control Hereford has been accepted as a member of a national trade body representing excellence, professionalism and best practice in the pest control industry.
PGM & SON, based in Herefordshire, has become a member of the British Pest Control Association (BPCA), the UK’s biggest trade body for the sector.
The company had to fulfil strict membership criteria to gain BPCA membership and Pest Controller and Owner, Phil Martin said the move demonstrated a commitment to providing an excellent service to customers in the Herefordshire and Worcestershire area.
Phil Martin said: “BPCA promotes the highest standards of professionalism within the industry and every business must prove its competence before membership is accepted.
“Joining the association gives assurance to our customers that we’re meeting high standards in everything we do and provides us with opportunities to access on-going training and expert advice.
“BPCA membership also gives us technical and business support as well as a great communications network keeping us abreast of the latest industry developments alongside providing opportunities to grow our business.
“Anyone can find themselves with an unexpected pest situation and clients need to have confidence that the people they ask for help know how to tackle the issue in the most effective way.
“Our BPCA membership immediately demonstrates we take what we do seriously and that we work to best practices within the industry.”
The BPCA works with pest control companies of all shapes and sizes, offering a range of technical advice, business support and access to the latest expert guidance.
The trade body also provides training courses and seminars as well as assistance with legislation, marketing and Continuous Professional Development schemes.
Ian Andrew, chief executive of BPCA, said: “Membership of the BPCA requires businesses to be insured, with qualified staff who adhere to our Codes of Conduct and Best Practice.
“Pest control can be a complex industry, with an extensive knowledge of products, procedures and legislation required to find the most appropriate solution to a pest problem.
“Our members benefit from access to a host of support services and from the diverse membership options we offer, bringing together grass roots pest controllers working on the ground, manufacturers and distributors, specialists, experts and members of the international pest control community.”
