London Network for Pest Solutions (LNPS) has been named a finalist in the Sustainability Initiative of the Year category at the 2023 National Pest Awards.

Now in their fifth year, the National Pest Awards recognise excellence and outstanding practice across the British pest control industry. They are organised by Pest Magazine, in association with the British Pest Control Association (BPCA), National Pest Technicians Association (NPTA) and PROMPT Register.

The Sustainability Initiative of the Year category recognises businesses and individuals who prioritise stewardship and sustainability within their work. They must be able to demonstrate consistency in delivering best practice and the adoption of innovative and sustainable solutions that benefit the business, customers, communities and the environment.

LNPS has been shortlisted for this award after the successful introduction of their innovative approach to pest proofing that has seen a dramatic reduction in repeat callouts for infestations. Find out more about this innovative approach to pest-proofing by clicking here.

Founded in 2017, LNPS has won multiple awards for its pest control services, including Small Pest Control Company of the Year at the 2022 National Pest Awards.

LNPS Managing Director Paul Cooper said: “. I am absolutely passionate about pest proofing and we are justly proud of our innovative approach. By combining the skills of multi-tradesmen with our team of highly trained pest control technicians, we have been able to offer customers a faster and more effective service. This is beneficial to our business, customers and the environment. It’s time for the industry to take proofing more seriously as many companies talk about it but don’t actually do it. Being shortlisted for our initiative is a great opportunity to raise the issue and encourage others to follow our lead.

“Recognition at the National Pest Awards is a real privilege. As professional pest controllers, we often work in isolation or in small teams and so it is wonderful to receive this acknowledgement from our peers for the work we do.”

Winners of the 2023 National Pest Awards will be announced at a black-tie event held on 7th September at the Hilton London Bankside.
