Isle of Wight-based 5 Star Pest Control has this week joined the British Pest Control Association – the biggest UK trade body representing organisations involved in the eradication of public health pests.
Already accredited by the National Pest Technicians Association (NPTA) they have now become the only Island-based company to be members of both organisations.
Managing Director, David French says:
“The move will deliver significant benefits to both the company and its customers here on the Island.
“BPCA promotes the highest standards of professionalism within the industry and every business must prove its competence before membership is accepted. Joining the association therefore delivers an assurance, both to customers and ourselves that we’re meeting high standards in everything we do.
“It’s likely to provide us with new business opportunities along with a network of communications tools, while we’re also entitled to technical support, business guidance and help with documentation and legislation.
“It’s a win-win situation both for us and our clients we’re delighted to be on board”.
5 Star Pest Control has been trading on the Isle of Wight for 11 of years and now employs 3 staff.
Ian Andrew, chief executive of BPCA, said:
“It makes good sense for any professional pest management company to join the leading trade association in the UK.
“We provide services and support that can be crucial to a company like 5 Star Pest Control for their activities on the Isle of Wight.
“We promote best practice in an industry that can be complicated and play a major role in enhancing standards by creating guidelines, developing training programmes and exams, producing publications or research and running exhibitions and conferences”.
We certainly have plenty of ‘pests’ on the island that need eradicating! Namely the ones who deal drugs, take drugs, out of control drunken idiots and noisy speeding ‘boy racers’. Before anyone says anything like “what am I on, not those sort of pests” I am being sarcastic… Shouldn’t really because the saying goes, sarcasm is the lowest form of wit!!!!!! But it’s true, we do have an ever increasing amount of PESTS!!
These guys come to the kitchen where I work. Good friendly service very professional well done lads
