Delivered at the Killgerm training centre, this marks a key step in Will’s journey into the professional pest control industry. Having now sat the final exam, Will awaits his results — but his commitment and progress so far are a positive reflection of the programme’s goals.
The NPTA 5<25 programme, supported by Syngenta, was launched to help young people under 25 build a career in pest control — offering structured development, funded training opportunities, and a clear pathway to professional recognition.
NPTA chief executive Kevin Lawrenson said: “Will has shown great enthusiasm and dedication throughout his training. Reaching this stage is a credit to him, and we look forward to seeing how he progresses from here. The 5<25 initiative was created to open doors for young people like Will, providing a supported entry into the industry.”
“We also want to thank Killgerm for delivering this training and Syngenta for their continued support. It’s a great example of what can be achieved when the industry works together to support future professionals.”
Richard Moseley, business manager at Syngenta, added: “We’re proud to support the NPTA’s 5<25 initiative and delighted to see Will complete his course. Syngenta is passionate about encouraging new talent into the industry, and this programme offers a valuable route in.
“Will’s progress is a clear indication of what’s possible when opportunities are made accessible and we are gald to be playing a key role in making these opportunities possible.”
With more candidates already progressing through the 5<25 programme, NPTA and Syngenta remain committed to raising standards, developing talent, and supporting businesses across the UK.
