Cleankill Technician Chris Summers is celebrating after completing the 2018 London Marathon and helping to raise more than £4,000 for two charities.
During a recent conversation with the owners of a very successful restaurant chain in the South-East of England, it became clear they were disappointed one of our reports had been cited by the Environmental Health Officer (EHO) as a reason for downgrading their hygiene rating in one restaurant from a four to a two.
We work with facility managers across the country, providing expert advice and first-rate, efficient pest control solutions.

Something a little different this month. There isn’t one serious theme but a collection of non-work-related things we’ve been doing in December.
A customer has praised a Cleankill technician for the way he handled a sensitive situation involving two pigeon chicks.
Cleankill was contacted by the Health & Safety Manager of a London factory about the pigeon chicks which were 10 to15 days old, They had been discovered in a box in racking outside the premises.
The customer was delighted when the technician managed to safely and quickly remove the chicks and find them a home after calls to a number of organisations.
At the end of September, I was asked to give a speech in front of the Sutton United Business Club luncheon group. The event attracted 76 delegates from 62 Sutton-based businesses.

Last month I wrote about the problem of identifying who was at fault in cases of rented property and bed bug infestations.
