How Did you get into Pest Control?
Drastic career change due to a road traffic accident. I moved from working underground in the coal mines in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire to starting with the NHS who put me through my BPCA 1 & 2 diplomas in pest control in 1999.
Five years after becoming qualified, I then started my own company as ABM Pest Control while continuing for the NHS Trust, covering 3 hospital sites. 25 years on, I still enjoy the thrill of fault finding and resolution for customers both residential and commercial.
