British Pest Control Assocation
BPCA is the professional association for the UK public health pest management industry.
We're a not-for-profit organisation acting in the interests of our members and on behalf of the pest management industry in the UK.
What is BPCA's role?
The provision of pest management and control services is an area which is often overlooked, however inadequate pest control can often have catastrophic effects economically, socially and on the public's health. BPCA promotes the highest standards of professionalism within the industry, allowing only organisations that prove their competence to join as members.
It's our role to:
- Highlight the risks of inadequate control
- Offer guidance in what to look for when searching for a pest control contractor
- Provide general pest advice and guidance documentation
- Provide advice on how to select an appropriate pest control professional
Cleaning Matters
Now in its 20th year Cleaning Matters continues to be the UK’s largest and only audited magazine within the cleaning industry. Cleaning Matters presents the latest innovations and insight that can aid the task of cleaning, maintenance and hygiene, as well as delivering independent news, views and developments from within the market.
Regular contributions from leading industry experts combined with Cleaning Matters’ knowledge of the marketplace and accessible style make it a must-read as well as an indispensable reference tool.
As the market evolves, Cleaning Matters – as the industry’s market-leading publication – moves with it. We know how busy those working in the cleaning and maintenance industry are, and to meet the needs of our readers, the magazine is divided into nine regular sections that will make sourcing product and service solutions simple and easy to digest.
This comprehensive publication also aligns itself with influential voices and key industry stakeholders. Columns from The Worldwide Cleaning Industry Association (ISSA) and the British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) are featured, alongside contributions from a host of respected cleaning experts, to provide exclusive advice and opinions on current issues in the industry.
The Hill Club
Established in April 2015 The Hill Club was named after the late Eric Hill, the founder of BICSc and the Worshipful Company of Environmental Cleaners. The exclusive networking organisation was created by a group of industry professionals with the aim of providing a comfortable environment for business people within the cleaning industry to connect, network and establish mutually beneficial commercial relationships.
The club features cleaning contractors, specialist insurers, industry PR specialists, FM recruiters, janitorial suppliers, washroom service providers and industry cleaning specialists, alongside FM organisations and service procurers.
All professionals working in the cleaning industry are welcome to attend the quarterly events which are free of charge and often include complementary snacks on a first come, first serve basis. Each meeting is held in an informal setting and runs for around three hours.
"This is a fantastic opportunity to meet with likeminded professionals where talking business and making new contacts is at the top of the agenda. With the success of the two sell out events to-date the Hill Club will continue to be a regular event on the calendar. Comments from attendees suggest that this type of event was missing from the industry and the Hill Club has fulfilled the role."
