Business Wire
Terminix, a leading provider of termite and pest control
services, today announced its seasoned UK-based experts are now
hitting the High Street with a whole new look—and a new focus on
exceptional customer experiences.
Terminix UK Limited (formally part of Mitie Pest Control) has
over 40 years of experience and is part of a growing global
organisation, focused on elevating the customer experience and
offering complete Integrated Pest Management Services, to home and
business owners.
Only a few months in, and the Terminix brand and culture have
already taken shape. After an initial kick-off with employees in
October, trucks, uniforms, signage, etc., have been a celebrated
sight on the High Street and tangible realisation of the need for
more competition.
“It was clear from the very beginning that Terminix would be a
great fit for our employees and community. The commitments of We
Serve, We Care, and We Deliver really resonate with our employees
and keep our focus on the customer. Once we saw that passion for
the consumer, everything else fell into place,” said David Wareing,
Managing Director of Terminix UK Ltd. “Quality pest control options
in the UK are limited to a few major players. It’s exciting to
shake up the industry in a way that benefits the customer in the
end.”
Operating with UK headquarters in Cheltenham, more than 300
Terminix professionals around the country provide service for a
variety of market sectors, including public and local authorities,
food manufacturing, property management, retail, healthcare,
transport and logistics, education, and the hospitality
industry.
While Europe represents the second largest pest control market
in the world, more than 60 percent of Terminix’s global pest
control accounts have business in the E.U. and the UK.
This entry into the market is important because the team who
joined Terminix have historically been masters of the UK pest
control landscape, evidenced by the fact that over the last year,
the local management team has increased core business and retained
customers better than any other major national UK supplier.
The team’s innovation work has led to the development and
utilisation of canine detection specialists, digital reporting,
treatments that require little or no pesticide, thermal image
inspections, and the use of drones.
The company offers a comprehensive range of pest control
services, including rodent control, bird control, insect and fly
control, and wildlife management. Services cover everything from
technical inspections and routine preventative visits, to pest
proofing, clearance works, and the removal of pest contaminated
waste.
Terminix UK complies fully with—and in many cases is ahead
of—current legislation such as the EU biocides directives and is
fully compliant with the guidelines set out by the CRRU,
highlighting a commitment to providing sustainable service with
minimal impact on the environment.
