BPCA to take refreshed in-person Training Forum to Peterborough

The British Pest Control Association (BPCA) continues its programme of refreshed, in-person Training Forums with a full-day event in Peterborough next Wednesday (February 18).

The event is open to everyone, including those new to pest control, experienced technicians, business owners, BPCA members and non-members alike. Attendance is completely free and includes breakfast, lunch and refreshments throughout.

Delegates can expect technical talks from experienced speakers, interactive debate sessions, hands-on training workshops and a mini-exhibition featuring pest control products, tools and technology.

Ms Day said: “We’ve refreshed the Training Forums to make sure they work for the whole industry. These events are open to everyone and designed to be practical, accessible and relevant, whether you’re just starting out or have years of experience behind you.”

The Peterborough event is supported by industry partners, including BASF, which is delivering one of the hands-on practical sessions during the afternoon programme.
