Andy Ransom, CEO of Rentokil Initial plc, said:
"We are thrilled to be celebrating 100 years of Rentokil. From our beginnings
in 1925, we have grown to become a global leader in pest control, protecting
people from the threats of pests.
“I hope the men and women who founded Rentokil and invented modern pest
control would recognise their legacy. They would certainly see themselves
reflected in our brilliant, hard-working people and our dedication to
innovation. This anniversary is a testament to the dedication of our
colleagues, past and present, and we look forward to continuing to serve our
customers for many years to come."
