Croydon-based Cleankill Pest Control is celebrating multiple award show success stories.
Cleankill was named ‘Company of the Year’ at the 2019 British Pest Management Awards (BPMAs), while Managing Director Paul Bates was Highly Commended in the ‘Unsung Hero’ category. The awards were presented at PestEx 2019, which took place at ExCeL London.
Organised by the British Pest Control Association (BPCA), the BPMAs celebrate individuals and companies that demonstrate exemplary performance and help portray the pest management industry in a positive light. Modern pest control is a highly-developed industry that has significant impacts on public health, food safety, environmental sustainability and economic development.
Commenting on being named ‘Company of the Year’, Paul said: "We are absolutely thrilled to win. We were up against some amazing high-profile companies, like Rokill and Safeguard. These businesses have been in operation for a long time, so for us to be shortlisted alongside them was a real achievement. To then be named ‘Company of the Year’ is wonderful.
“It is not just an endorsement by our peers, it is also a clear demonstration that our approach to business is the right one. Everything we do as a business: our customer service, staff development and training, and the way we support community projects and the environment, are all part of a business ethic that sees pest control, not as a relic from the past, but as a profession vital to modern life.”
Following this success, the company were also present at the Gatwick Diamond Business Awards, where they had been shortlisted in two categories: ‘Employer of the Year’ and ‘Business Person of the Year’ for Paul. After being named as ‘Responsible Business of the Year’ in 2018, the company were content to place as finalists in both categories in 2019.
