5 Serving a diverse assortment of clients, Vibraclean is a versatile, flexible, and deeply experienced provider of clean room solutions. By maintaining controlled environments, and even training individuals, this award-winning company has worked across a spectrum of projects in the realms of electronics, advanced manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals. Here we learn more as Vibraclean is bestowed with its title in BUILD Magazine’s Facilities Management Awards 2025. – so that they can have more time to carry out their core medical/scientific duties. This inevitably helps the speed and accuracy of pharmaceutical progression and relieves professional developers, researchers, and manufacturers of tasks that don’t necessarily fit into their roles and responsibilities. By taking over this part of the process, Vibraclean ensures that it is supporting its clients in a way that relieves stress and frees up time for everyone involved in the day-today tasks of each business. Always taking on a supportive role, Vibraclean makes sure that every facility is up to scratch, regulated, audited, and spotless for the most seamless operations on a daily basis. Vibraclean’s deeply rooted knowledge on sterility and contamination control helps it to operate in a manner that is always in alignment with each client with whom it works. Atop its experience in maintaining clean rooms, Vibraclean also offers holistic services whereby its clients can find and employ individuals who will be dedicated to the contamination control aspect of their operations. Additionally. Vibraclean can offer training to existing employees – making the business a strong partner for recruitment and training. All of this wouldn’t be possible without the strong and supportive team members at Vibraclean. Executive Director Aaron Bazal shared: “I’m most proud of my team. They work as a cohesive unit and they are tough on their values of competitive greatness and curiosity, always competing against themselves to grow and be better. We have to be curious and willing to learn. “We are curious about the application of the work, cleaning, maintenance, management, and documentation handling. This is crucial and curiosity is important with constant learning and training by members of the team, or facilities training directly to our clients – upskilling their teams. We have an amazing company culture.” As change is systemically happening, where cleaning is becoming more recognised as a critical part of the process – especially in the pharmaceutical industry – Vibraclean continues to be what we consider an unsung hero. Its approach to providing the best cleaning for controlled environments such as clean rooms continues to aid pharmaceutical manufacturing so that the products they produce can be effective, safe, sterile, and life-changing. Of course, we all know someone who has been, or is, affected by an illness, ailment, or disorder, and it’s vital to remind ourselves of the importance of every part of the process – from the specialists who created the medicinal products all the way back to the clean room teams who make it all possible. Aaron added: “We have an approach that is very science based and completely in line with good manufacturing practices (GMP). We are constantly learning and staying up to date to offer the best all-round cleaning and facilities solutions. It is less about being competitive against massive facilities companies, and more about supporting the companies that do the absolute best and supply them with efficient and cost effective way, best patient care at the outcome every time.” Offering sustainable clean room solutions in Canada, Vibraclean continues to step up to the mark, and exceed expectations, for a better future for all. This is exactly why we awarded the company with Best Clean Room Service Provider 2025 – Canada in this year’s Facilities Management Awards. With the company working towards major markets in the years to come, we’re sure that wherever Vibraclean influences, through its dedicated work, will experience huge benefits. As the future awaits, it’s an exciting time for Vibraclean and all of its clients who opt for the highest level of support, expertise, and compassion. Contact: Aaron Bazal Company: Vibraclean Website: https://vibraclean.com/ Offering expert solutions to all compounding facilities and large-scale manufacturing, especially with regards to a broad range of pharmaceutical companies from cell and gene therapy to sterile compounding facilities and small molecule pharmaceuticals. Although Vibraclean has extensive experience with other industries, this is ultimately where the company’s expertise lies as it strives to positively impact the world of scientific research and development for each and every one of us. Supporting these integral sectors, Vibraclean stays true to its goal of creating a better world, and it is proud to work with companies, scientists, and specialists in medication production to help people in need of medical attention. Whether this is to develop preventative, pain management, or treatment drugs for individuals with health issues, Vibraclean is an avid supporter of the life-sciences and pharmaceuticals sector for more positive end results across the healthcare industry. Having started its journey a decade ago, Vibraclean’s evolution has seen it move from its original areas – commercial, industrial, and janitorial spaces – that allowed it to enhance the world of electronics for satellite parts, semi-conductors, and sensitive optical pieces. However, with this came valuable experience leading the company to where it is today, with electronics as a 20% split in comparison to its 80% of work in the pharmaceutical industry. Vibraclean also understands what it takes to create a harmonious environment for the production of medical devices. Therefore, this well-rounded roster of specialist experience is having a tremendous impact on multiple industries – from advanced manufacturing and industrial to pharmaceutical – and, better yet, countless people. Years ago, Vibraclean noticed a pattern where medical/medical research staff were managing and cleansing their controlled environments. On the surface this may not seem like an issue, but, with its experience of the medical industry, Vibraclean does all it can to eradicate the need for professionals to manage and maintain their clean rooms
BUILD Facilities Management Awards 2025 In the humid, subtropical climate of Northeast Texas, homes become inviting spaces for some most unwanted visitors. Not only can this make it difficult to relax – something everyone should be able to do in their own home – it can turn a house into a living nightmare. WING 8 is well aware of the concerns that stem from a pest problem, and that’s why it provides safe, effective pest solutions trusted by the people of Texas to homeowners, property managers, real estate professionals, and HOAs across the region. WING 8’s standout service lines include NCONTROL® pest plans, NGROUND® termite protection, TRAKKER® wildlife services, SMART® rodent monitoring, NSEASON® mosquito control, and INSUL8® attic treatments. Each is backed by a customer-first philosophy rooted in the company’s unwavering commitment to health, home protection, and sustainability. “We stand by our work and back it with our Golden WINGS® Guarantee, because doing right by our customers is what built this company in the first place.” This encompassing approach is especially useful in facilities management, where the company’s focus is on preventative pest control and rodent Most Innovative Pest Control Services Provider 2025 – Texas & BUILD Client Satisfaction Excellence Award 2025 Offering year-round pest protection from its home in Forney, WING 8 Pest Services is a local pest control company renowned for the expert solutions it provides to tackle everything from termites and rodents to ants, bed bugs, and mosquitos. The company provides its services to the growing communities located east of Dallas-Fort Worth, friendly neighbourhoods where the people know each other and life is peaceful. Making sure pests don’t succeed in shattering that peace, Max Wingate tells us how WING 8 uses innovative techniques to get rid of them for good. control systems to reduce some of the more long-term issues faced not only by multi-family properties and HOAs, but also commercial buildings. In this environment, Max told us: “Our goal is to stop infestations before they start, using solutions that fit seamlessly into existing maintenance routines.” As this shows, WING 8 is all about a proactive – not reactive – service. For example, the SMART® rodent monitoring system mentioned above uses sensors to detect animals, accurately identify the correct species, and send a notification to WING 8 to alert them of this activity. In a similar vein, having seen first-hand just how much more costly and disruptive pests are after they’ve become a problem, WING 8 offers deterrencebased solutions such as termite prevention for new homes and other buildings. This is seen through NWALL®, its built-in solution for pest and termite protection. The former of these was used in textbook fashion in one of the company’s most rewarding recent projects, a private school in East Texas that was facing rodent activity across both its attic and storage areas. As is the case with so many of these jobs, this was not just a pest issue – it was also a health concern. Max explained: “We used our SMART® Rodent System to scan for hidden hotspots, tracked activity, sealed up key entry points, and then followed up with our INSUL8® Attic Sterilization Service to disinfect the space.”
7 Reflecting on what was yet another successful project, Max commented: “What started out as a difficult situation quickly became a great opportunity for us to show how our integrated pest control and attic sanitisation solutions can protect both buildings and the people inside them.” He continued: “That experience helped us to refine our processes and offer similar services to the likes of churches and daycares facing the same risks.” Alongside being recognised for the innovation of these solutions, the second award we have bestowed upon WING 8 concentrates on its excellence in the arena of client service. All of this stems from the trust that the company has built with both the families and the businesses in its community. This harkens back to the comment in the beginning about this being an area where everyone is neighbours, meaning that clients don’t just get an expert technician when they call WING 8 – they get a neighbour who truly cares. Following this thread, Max divulged: “Our team take the time to explain what we’re doing and why, and we only use treatments that are safe for families, kids, and pets. Every service plan we offer – from NCONTROL® to TRAKKER® – is designed with our aforementioned core focus areas of health, home protection, and sustainability in mind.” Fittingly, it’s this ability to blend a local service with smart technology that sets WING 8 apart in an industry where there’s no shortage of national chains or faceless call centres. As Max boasted: “We’re local professionals who live and work in the same neighbourhoods as our customers. Our branded services like NGROUND® and SMART® are tailored for Texas homes/properties, not cookie-cutter, out-ofstate solutions.” “We also bundle services that protect not just against pests, but also protect property value, air quality, and long-term structural health. That full-picture approach is something most companies just can’t offer.” Upholding this full-picture approach is something left to the company’s technicians – dedicated professionals who reflect its internal culture of ownership, accountability, and pride at every turn. Their enthusiasm is matched by the company in the form of ongoing training and mentorship opportunities to encourage development, resulting in the high expectations everyone representing the company holds themselves to. With the brand growing fast – and things “just getting started”, according to Max – WING 8 is on track to becoming a household name throughout Northeast Texas. To this end, the company is not only expanding its footprint, but also its services to match. A partnership with local builders is then currently in the pipeline, which will see NWALL® become a built-in standard for all new homes in this developing region. Finally, on the service side, WING 8 is investing in new smart systems and eco-conscious treatments, all geared around instilling control and offering peace of mind for customers. Long term, the ambition is for WING 8 to be the go-to brand of families, homeowners, and business owners in Texas looking for year-round pest protection. Celebrated with a duo of well-deserved awards in this programme, Max captured the spirit of WING 8 Pest Services when he said: “We’re not just treating pests – we’re protecting the places where people live, work, and raise their families.” Contact: Max Wingate Company: WING 8 Pest Services Web Address: https://wing8pest.com/

9 facilities management providers in keeping their buildings compliant, operational, and protected. Its specialism in this field stems from more than three decades of experience in working with some of the world’s leading FM providers and understanding their operational challenges. Churches Fire & Security has witnessed firsthand the pressures FM companies face in managing multiple sites, complex compliance requirements, and the need for seamless service delivery. Through this understanding, the company has developed systems and processes designed specifically for multi-site, high-footfall, and regulated environments – including bespoke reporting, dedicated account management, and rapid nationwide technician response 24 hours a day, seven days a week. “We are proud to offer a single-source solution for both fire and security, simplifying supplier management and ensuring consistency across a Facility Manager’s portfolio,” Charlie told us. “We recognise the critical role FM providers play in maintaining safe, compliant spaces for millions of people each and every day. By supporting them with reliable, expert fire and security services, we enable FM teams to concentrate on what they do best, with confidence that their safety remains in our expert hands.” In a crowded market, Churches Fire & Security stands out for its ability to deliver a complete fire and security solution entirely in-house. While many providers rely solely on subcontractors and fragmented service models – which can lead to inconsistencies, delays, and gaps in compliance – Churches Fire & Security takes a different approach; through a meticulously developed structure of directly employed technicians, specialist teams, project managers, and compliance experts, the company maintains full control over quality, safety, and service delivery at each and every stage. Churches Fire & Security’s in-house capabilities enable it to offer end-to-end services, from initial risk assessment to system design, installation, maintenance, and 24/7 monitoring; consistent national coverage, with the same high standards maintained across all sites; specialist expertise under one roof, covering fire alarms, extinguishers, compression systems, emergency lighting, CCTV, access control, and more; and streamlined communication and accountability, providing clients with a single point of contact and total piece of mind. “By keeping our services in-house, we ensure greater reliability, faster response times, and a more personal, accountable approach,” Charlie explained. “Our clients know that they are working with one dedicated team who understands their needs – and who takes full ownership of protecting their people, property, and compliance.” Further differentiating Churches Fire & Security is its commitment to industry-wide advancement. In September 2021, the company launched Churches Fire & Security Academy – an incredible opportunity to broaden the industry’s accessibility for people without prior experience in the field. Not only does the Academy provide students with accelerated learning and lifelong skills, but it also injects new talent into an industry facing a nationwide skills shortage. This commitment to ongoing improvement and education can be seen throughout Churches Fire & Security’s organisational structure. In addition to the Academy, the company also provides technical training, compliance management, and leadership development to its employees – ensuring that they are always equipped with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to perform their roles to the highest standard. This approach has enabled Churches Fire & Security to stand as a beacon of excellence across the industry, renowned for its unrivalled expertise and commitment to compliance. Beyond that, the company’s internal culture is built on responsibility, integrity, and doing what is right. The team operates in a safety-critical industry, where the smallest oversight can have serious consequences. Churches Fire & Safety addresses this by promoting ongoing education, clear communication and shared accountability, and recognising the value of each team member’s role to the overall output of the business. By taking these steps, the company has cultivated a culture in which every individual understands the part they play in delivering compliant, reliable fire and security services. This approach has not only resulted in a culture of excellence, but also one of great pride. Each member of the Churches Fire & Security team feel an immense sense of worth in the work that they do, and the safety that they provide to others. The company leverages its core values of integrity, responsibility, and continuous improvement to steer the team, ensuring that every project and service reflects its ethos. It invests heavily in training, accreditations, and third-party certifications, proudly working to the highest industry standards. “We are most proud of our unwavering commitment to protecting people and property from the threat of fire and theft – and doing so in the right way, not just the easy way,” Charlie explained. “In our industry, there’s no room for shortcuts when it comes to safety and compliance. We pride ourselves on being a trusted partner that prioritises doing what is right – even when that means having difficult conversations or going beyond the minimum requirements.” “We pride ourselves on being a trusted partner that prioritises doing what is right – even when that means having difficult conversations or going beyond the minimum requirements.” This is an ethos that Churches Fire & Security will continue to uphold as it moves through 2025 and beyond. Looking ahead, the company’s future is one focused on sustainable growth, continued innovation, and strengthening its ability to protect people, property, and deliver peace of mind across the UK. At present, Churches Fire & Security is concentrating on several key priorities that promise to shape the next chapter of its business. Churches Fire & Security aims to continue growing both organically and through targeted acquisitions, building upon its track record of more than 60 successful acquisitions to date. This expansion will allow the company to enhance its expertise, broaden its coverage, and introduce even more specialist capabilities into the group. Alongside this, the company remains committed to investing in its people, with the Academy a central pillar of its future plans. The Academy will be expanding to support more career pathways, technical training, and leadership development – ensuring that Churches Fire & Security teams are always ready to meet evolving industry demands. Furthermore, the company will be driving innovation by utilising technology to improve safety, efficiency, and customer experience. Recent initiatives, such as its Dynamic Risk Assessment tool and digital compliance platforms, have delivered real benefits, prompting Churches Fire & Security to continue exploring new ways to enhance its services through smart, accessible solutions. These initiatives each contribute towards Churches Fire & Security’s wider goal: supporting clients with compliance in a changing landscape. As safety regulations become increasingly more complex, the company’s role in guiding customers through compliance will only grow in turn. Right now, Churches Fire & Security is staying ahead of regulatory changes by investing in its Compliance Team and tools – ensuring its clients remain prepared and protected. “Ultimately,” Charlie concluded, “our future is about combining our industry experience with continuous improvement – keeping people safe, supporting our teams, and building a stronger, more capable Churches Fire & Security.”
BUILD Facilities Management Awards 2025 AIM-Jun25026 Viking Executive Protection Solutions is a full-service, diverse-owned private security firm wholly dedicated to protecting the families and businesses of its clients. Regardless of size, location, or the amount of people it needs to get the job done, Viking will do whatever it takes to keep people safe. This commitment is innate across its teams of officers, all of whom are highly-trained professionals and were formerly in military, law enforcement, or similarly high-pressure roles. At the helm of this operation is Roy Smith, whose career in security and policing dates back more than 25 years. Best VIP Security Service 2025 – Texas
11 From working as a Corrections Officer for the State of Nebraska’s Department of Corrections to a four-year stint as Deputy Sheriff operating out of the Pottawattamie County Sherrif’s Office in Iowa, as well as roles across the likes of G4S and Homeland Patrol, Roy Smith more than has the background and the experience to lead Viking Executive Protection Solutions. Establishing the company in 2021, Roy is both the owner and CEO, with his dedication to protect and serve remaining as unflinching now than ever before. In today’s turbulent and wildly-unpredictable world, personal and executive protection security has unfortunately become a necessity – and taking a proactive approach to managing safety is a surefire way for a person to save not only time and assets, but sometimes even their life. Echoing this ethos across a range of concierge security services, Viking is designed to both shield its clients from any harm and provide them with peace of mind. The company achieves this by offering fully customisable security solutions that are unique and tailored from the ground up to a person’s circumstances. What this means is that important and influential individuals can set about achieving their goals and preserving their brands or lifestyles without having to fear for their safety. In this way, these services pay for themselves, with a return on investment experienced in the form of reassurance that nothing will stand in their way. This is a gift that a person simply cannot put a price on. Whether a client requests executive protection on a day-to-day basis, a courier service that is low in profile but high in security, a secure driving service managed by trained and certified professionals, or even a residential security team to offer physical protection of their home or other vital assets, these agents pride themselves on an ability to integrate seamlessly into daily routines. Beyond this, Viking even has specialists on hand to deploy comprehensive technical security countermeasures and to offer mitigation against doxing. As this shows, executive protection is about much more than just having a ‘bodyguard’, and personal protection is just one piece of a holistic puzzle designed to preserve a person’s wellbeing. This is not to undermine the importance of this particular element of Viking’s service however, which is crucial for the likes of corporate execs, diplomats, and celebrities – groups that are more likely to be the target of harassment or an attack. Across this offering, Viking’s agents can be as discreet as the client requests, with some even asking that they are not made aware of who their agent is. Less obvious protection then sees agents dressed in plain clothes to blend in with the crowd. Otherwise, agents look the traditional part – suited and booted – without ever drawing more attention than the client. This allows them to carry out everything from armed escorts to advanced security screenings and real-time itinerary and movement updates subtlety and effectively. What makes the services mentioned above even more beneficial to clients is that all of the company’s agents are rigorously trained in the likes of first aid, trauma care, situational awareness, and selfdefence. This, combined with their previous expertise in military/ policing roles, gives them a unique ability to handle dynamic situations, thinking on their feet and always taking appropriate precautions in the event of a threat. Before moving on and discussing the values and ethos behind Viking, many people will be interested to know more about the digital side of executive protection that Roy and his team also specialise in. Again, many people assume this role is a solely physical one, but in a time when technology and the internet are arguably more powerful tools than any physical weapon, clients are increasingly experiencing nonphysical threats. Whilst this occasionally involves sourcing and removing covert listening devices – or ‘bugs’ – as well preventing surveillance through the likes of cameras and GPS trackers, the reality is often much less ‘secret agent’. Most commonly, the team deal with countersurveillance software that helps to prevent cybercrime, such as the theft of financial, corporate, or personal data. These types of hacking have become more popular in the last few years and have required Roy and co. to adjust their services accordingly. The same can be said of doxing, which is the act of publishing the personal information (such as private addresses, phone numbers, or tax records) of a person or business to intimidate, humiliate, or harass. This is a new frontier for the seasoned experts behind companies like Viking, who now have to tackle an enemy that they not only cannot see, but who could potentially be thousands of miles away. Thus, to safeguard clients, agents do everything from conducting audits to training clients on how to safely store information online. These latter services are much more than just ‘add-ons’ to Viking, with the company’s expert team also comprising professionals from fields such as intel analytics, outside of more traditional roles such as policing or armed forces. The diversity inherent across this team is one of the greatest strengths Viking has, and Roy is incredibly proud to have built such an esteemed workforce in a short amount of time – just over four years. Clearly then, it is the multi-talented nature of the agents behind Viking that sets it apart when it comes to the niche but vital field of VIP security services. The excellence these individuals strive for on a daily basis is something that is reflected across the company’s goals, which cover such bases as providing a higher level of security, educating people on the importance of being proactive rather than reactive, and prioritising collaboration. Viking also aims to modernise an industry that has long been seen as ‘stuck in the 90s’, delivering a concierge-style service that appeals to the more specialised needs of its clients in today’s world. Underpinning this is the ability to make people feel both comfortable and protected, all whilst stressing that security is no longer just a luxury – but a need. Combined, these goals make Viking the best option, meaning it is really the only option. Based in Texas but serving clients from all over, Viking Executive Protection Solutions’ professional and passionate nature, commitment to diversity and lasting change, and trust-based relationships with clients – built on an unwavering commitment to keeping them, their families, and their assets safe – all position it as a leader in this space. The more than 80 years of collective experience shared by its team only adds to this, resulting in the company’s rightful recognition as the Best VIP Security Service 2025 – Texas.

One such example came from Vicki, the practice manager at Manor House Surgery Group, which has three locations cleaned by this team. Vicki wrote: “I just wanted to provide some feedback regarding the cleaning services here at Manor House. We always seem to provide feedback when things go wrong, or do not meet our expectations, and rarely remember to feed back when things go well. I therefore wanted to express how happy we are with the service being provided. “I receive so many compliments from staff to say how clean all sites are, and how dedicated the cleaners are to their role. We even receive great feedback from patients about the cleanliness of all practices.” Ultimately, for continuing to go above and beyond, consistently delivering top-notch cleaning services, and tailoring its output to the specialised requirements of an increasingly expanding client base, JPC Services Glossop Ltd it is more than fitting of being recognised as the Most Client-Focused Commercial & Industrial Cleaning Company 2025 – North West England in our Facilities Management Awards 2025.

BUILD Facilities Management Awards 2025 Many companies and institutions find it difficult to manage their real estate portfolios. Well aware of this, CORPORATE Real Estate Management, which is based in the Netherlands, offers advice and assistance to all types of organisations on how to get the most out of their properties, delivering services such as portfolio analysis, strategic and asset management, financing advice, and more. As this award suggests, underpinning all of these services is the belief that real estate and urban facility management go hand in hand. Jan is an expert in property management and organisational finance, something reflected in the esteemed international reputation he boasts. Having received a PhD from Erasmus University in Rotterdam, Jan’s experiences include research and teaching business and finance at various universities and working with numerous industry clients to outline best practices for commercial real estate – complementing his research and consultancy assignments. This expertise serves as the foundation of his company’s distinction in this space. ““I studied social real estate at the TIAS School for Business and Society and graduated by adapting the INK model, known from quality assurance in the real estate sector. I still use this model, which I call the ‘Real Estate INK Balanced Model’ in my daily work. From his position at the helm of CORPORATE Real Estate Management, Jan serves as both the manager/director of the company and as a consultant for organisations in need of support with property management and strategy. These may be commercial parties, public authorities, or those in the healthcare and education sectors. Regardless of whether he is managing for a corporation or a non-profit, Jan recognises that the objective – to use real estate as a business asset – remains the same, just seen from an altered perspective. Insights such as this can be found in Jan’s book, Urban Facility Management, published by Routledge. Explaining this in more detail, Jan told us: “This is the first interdisciplinary book with a holistic approach to urban facility management (UFM), based on recent scientific insights and analysis over a defined period of eight years of research. With this book, I share insights on UFM together with several other authors and specialists worldwide.” Topics covered include a comprehensive introduction to UFM; how UFM adds value by developing sustainable, resilient, and vibrant cities; and ways UFM promotes economic growth and ensures resources are used both efficiently and effectively. Without giving too much away, Jan’s findings outline how UFM improves the quality of life in cities by balancing economic progress with environmental protection and social cohesion. “A podcast is being made for each chapter of the book. The first one has already been released.” Much of the work covered in the book – especially the 18 studies Jan have it carried out between last year and this year by speaking to experts and scientists from the Netherlands, South Africa, Iran, China, Italy, and England – has been acclaimed internationally, with Jan even receiving six awards over the past 18 months for his research. Perhaps the most significant of these saw Jan presented with an award by prof. Dr Rashid Al Ameri in the Global Economic Awards earlier this year, reflecting the remarkable work he is doing in the field. To conclude on the legacy Jan Veuger is leaving behind, this visionary has recognised that the future of urban planning will increasingly depend on UFM’s role in shaping urban environments capable of responding to the challenges of the 21st century. In this way, CORPORATE Real Estate Management is leading the charge towards a better and brighter future, making it a fitting recipient of this award celebrating its innovative streak.

BUILD Facilities Management Awards 2025 Best Pest Control & Bird Management Company 2025 – South Wales With more than 35 years of experience under its belt, Aderyn Ltd has established itself as the leading pest control specialist and commercial exterminator in South Wales. Renowned in regional facilities management circles for their speed and effectiveness in dealing with a variety of pesky birds and insects, the team behind the company more than have the knowledge to provide the most effective solution for every pest. To learn more about these unpleasant yet necessary services, we caught up with Chris Corbett, the company’s managing director. Pest control is something people rarely think about until they find themselves in need of it. However, there are a number of pests that can find their way into residential and commercial properties alike, and the damage they can cause goes beyond just the building itself. Animals such as rats, fleas, and beg bugs pose a serious risk to the health of people and pets, and they need to be dealt with immediately once the signs are spotted. This is why Aderyn acts fast, professionally, and discreetly to manage these infestations. Be it rodent control for a home, pest control for stored product insects (SPIs) in food production and storage areas, or anything in between, Aderyn’s solutions are all delivered by a skilled and knowledgeable team who are accustomed to working with clients in diverse environments. Available for a one-off job or for a comprehensive contract to satisfy the demands of auditors, Aderyn also specialises in preventative pest control, with its BPCAqualified nature underpinning both its quality and reliability. Companies like Aderyn are so important in the facilities management (FM) space as there is a constant need for their specialist experience concerning both pests and birds. An absence of these local businesses sees clients forced to rely on national providers, organisations that often leave a lot to be desired when it comes to meeting their specific needs. As Chris told us: “I personally have been in the industry 46 years and throughout that time have dealt with many FM companies, both at a local and national level.” Throughout his career, Chris has come to realise what clients want more than anything is communication and efficiency. Both of these areas are focused on across every project Aderyn takes on, seen through a fitting example from earlier this year involving a FM company that needed to prove birds were not nesting on a building set to be demolished. With a turnaround of exactly one month – the date between the intervention and the deadline due to the start of the gull breeding season – the pressure was on. Living up to its well-earned reputation – Aderyn can always be counted on to get something it done once it says it will – Chris and the team went above and beyond to leave the client satisfied. Exploring the specifics of the job in more detail: Chris explained: “We were able to put a number of teams on the job and managed to complete all three large roof areas within a week, thus fulfilling the requirement. Naturally, the client was very grateful and the demolition could proceed as planned, unopposed by ecologists.” As is the case with every job completed by this pest and bird control service provider, its team were instrumental. Having built a workforce atop a foundation of communication, trust, efficiency, and client focus – mirroring the company’s values – Aderyn is able to boast employees skilled and confident enough to jump into each other’s roles at a moment’s notice. The result is seamless service delivery time and again, even in the face of a crisis. This is something even the national firms struggle with. Having such an aligned workforce also contributes to the internal culture within Aderyn, which is relaxed, formal, and underpinned by a rigorous commitment to the needs of the customer. For instance, the company never ‘manages’ hours and is instead totally flexible – as long as projects are completed on time and clients are satisfied. In the rare case of an issue, the team also pull together without asking, minimising impact and ensuring Aderyn continues on the upwards trajectory it is experiencing. On the back of its signature communication skills and unrivalled efficiency in South Wales pest control, Chris is excited to announce that Aderyn is in talks with a global FM provider to deliver its pest control services to the vast majority of its UK sites. This developing partnership is a fitting testament to the quality inherent in the services delivered by Aderyn Ltd, the company we are glad to recognise as the Best Pest Control & Bird Management Company 2025 – South Wales in this programme.
