The Pest Control Team at Hyndburn Council will celebrate this summer at the National Pest Awards 2024, having been shortlisted for Local Authority of the Year for their pest control operations, for the second consecutive year.

The National Pest Awards, organised by Pest magazine and supported by BPCA, NPTA, and Basis, is an annual awards ceremony dedicated to celebrating the very best in professional pest control across the UK.

Whilst competition was extremely tight to get to the finals, Hyndburn Borough Council are thrilled to reach the finals and are looking to go one better after finishing as runner-up last year.

“I am thrilled to announce this nomination for a prestigious national pest award. This nomination is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and expertise of our team in maintaining the health and safety of our community. Their commitment to excellence in pest control services has not only made Hyndburn a cleaner and safer place to live but also set a benchmark for others to follow. We are incredibly proud of their achievements and wish them the best of luck in the awards.”

The ‘Local Authority of the Year’ category is an award that acknowledges the work of a Local Authority pest control operation – like the Pest Control team within Hyndburn Borough Council’s Environmental Services – and recognises the commitment of the team to consistently go above and beyond the call of duty, with a real focus on skill development and progression.

Lee Taylor, Pest Control Manager, said:

“It was such an honour for the team to secure second place against some truly excellent nominees last year. I hope this year we can go one better and win the award. We are committed to continuing to refine our service to make it the very best it can be for all living in Hyndburn.”
