“We continue to deliver on our commitment to build an
industry-leading commercial pest business, starting with our
Copesan acquisition in 2018, and followed by the acquisitions of
other Copesan providers such as Assured Environments and Cooper
Pest Control,” said Nik Varty, CEO of ServiceMaster. “We are
excited to continue our progress by welcoming two additional
providers in Gregory and McCloud. These acquisitions are helping us
build a multi-brand service network while strategically adding
incredible commercial talent and capabilities to differentiate
ourselves in the eyes of our customers, and to take advantage of
having the most recognized and preferred brands in the commercial
sector.”
“The Gregory and McCloud acquisitions accelerate this commercial
journey,” continued Varty. “By adding extremely talented industry
experts with strong capabilities in a variety of commercial sectors
such as farm-to-table and multifamily housing, we add to our
previous capabilities in the areas of national accounts management,
bed bug treatments, and urban pest solutions.”
“We firmly believe that it’s been our core value of taking care
of people, both the employees and our customers, that has made
Gregory Pest Solutions the success it is today,” said Phil Gregory,
founder and CEO of the company. “As a Copesan partner, we had the
opportunity to experience how ServiceMaster conducts its business.
It is because of the shared commitment to caring that we chose to
partner with ServiceMaster.”
“Our employees care very much about the customers we serve,”
said Chris McCloud, CEO of McCloud Services. “It is why
ServiceMaster and their commercial pest business were interested in
us, and why we saw them as the best partners for our future. The
advantages of being part of a leading global business offers more
opportunities for our employees as well as our customers.”
ServiceMaster will retain the management teams and brands of
both organizations as it looks to strengthen its focus on
integrated commercial pest management. Ben Walker will continue to
be president of Gregory Pest Solutions. In addition to this
responsibility, he will be the Southeast area leader of commercial
pest operations, reporting to Greg Rutherford, president of
Terminix Commercial. This follows the recent announcement that
Andrew Klein, former CEO of Assured Environments, will serve as
Northeast area leader of commercial pest, reporting to Rutherford.
Stephanie and Chris will also continue in their leadership roles
for McCloud Services, which will take a leading position as part of
our Midwest division. The management teams of both businesses will
also have continuing roles in the respective divisional management
teams.
McCloud Services was advised by Lance Tullius of LR Tullius,
Inc.
