Winning the Pest Manager of the Year Award means much more than just being the best among your peers, \u201cIt is also very good for business,\u201d said Rowan Gregson<\/strong>\u00a0of Pestec Pty Ltd, the winner of this year\u2019s award.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a great thrill to win the award, particularly given\u00a0the high calibre of the pest management companies we were competing against. We were excited and keen to let everyone know of our achievement. So the first thing we did on the Monday morning after the conference was update our website home page with the announcement that we were winners of this year\u2019s award.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe following morning we were pleasantly surprised.\u00a0We received a phone call from the asset manager of\u00a0a large government organisation. He was looking to engage a suitably qualified and experienced professional pest management company to conduct inspection and eradication work on termites over a large number of sites.\u201d<\/p>\n

The asset manager had been searching the websites of various pest management organisations. Upon viewing the Pestec site, he was struck by the fact that Pestec were the 2015 Pest Manager of the Year. Pestec immediately became the obvious choice.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing the Pest Manager of the Year was the key point of differentiation between us and the other pest management businesses they were considering. We are now entering\u00a0into a contract with the government organisation and have commenced work already on what will be a significant long- term piece of business for us.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just goes to show that there are tangible business benefits to winning the award. We would really encourage as many pest managers as possible to enter the competition next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Gregson also added that, \u201cFull marks should also go to our industry association AEPMA, and to BASF for lifting the profile of our industry by promoting the award.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
