PPC Online reported on 25 September 2026 that the British Pest Control Association won in all four nominated categories, plus the Grand Prix, at the Memcom Awards held in London on 24 September 2026.
Main points
- BPCA won three categories: Best Use of Video and Best Inclusion Initiative, both for the Pest Careers campaign, and Best Public Awareness Campaign for the work on Birmingham’s bin strikes. Best Non-Celebratory Event (£100K+) for PestEx 2026 was highly commended.
- The Grand Prix goes to the organisation with the highest overall score from wins and highly commended entries on the night. Chief executive Rosina Robson was in London on 24 September 2026. She said it was a special night, with a trophy for every nominated category, and that the team’s total for the year was seven awards. She mentioned the Association Excellence Awards in November.
- The article describes PestEx on 18–19 March 2026 at ExCeL London, with more than 2,100 attendees and 125 exhibitors. On the workforce, it says nearly 40% of today’s pest-management workforce is expected to retire within the next decade, and women make up around 4–4.5% of the sector.
- Scott Johnstone said the Birmingham campaign was BPCA’s first hyper-local paid media campaign, combining outdoor, print, digital, video and PR.
