Six well-known and well-respected industry leaders were inducted into the Pest Control News Hall of Fame at the dinner immediately following PestTech 2010 on 3 November.

In 2007 thePest Control News Hall of Fame was introduced to recognise those individuals whose contributions have been ‘over and above the call of duty’ and so have made a lasting impression on the European pest control industry.

Jonathan Peck, managing director of the Killgerm Group, was delighted to welcome six new members.
