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."
