We are on cloud nine this week after being named Small Company of the Year at the prestigious National Pest Awards 2026, one of the most respected awards in the UK pest control industry.
That’s right – we’re officially the award-winning Dealey Environmental, and we couldn’t be happier!
We picked up the accolade at a prestigious awards dinner at Plaisterers’ Hall in London last week (09 September), presented by comedian Dinesh Nathan.
The National Pest Awards, organised by Pest Magazine, celebrate the best in UK pest control. It recognises the impact of the professional pest management sector and attracts entries from across the country.
A proud moment in our 70th anniversary year
Winning this award feels even more special as we celebrate our 70th business anniversary. For seven decades, we’ve been at the centre of effective commercial pest control solutions for businesses across the UK. We’ve expanded from our Suffolk head office to having a dedicated team in the Midlands, and we’ve provided sustainable pest control services across the country.
Winning a national award during our anniversary celebrations shows that we’ve built strong foundations over the generations. If you know us, you’ll know we’re always looking to learn new approaches and try new things, and this award celebrates the hard work of the entire team.
What impressed the judges?
This award came as a huge shock to us, because we were originally nominated by one of our long-standing suppliers.
It’s nice to be recognised for what we do by our peers, and following the initial nomination, we were asked to complete a detailed application before attending a formal interview with the judging panel.
Judges were particularly interested in our 40% growth over the past two years, as well as our commitment to professional development through investment in Advanced Technician qualifications for our pest control team.
We also had the chance to talk about how we became the UK’s only licenced BlueFume specialist.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us.
Reflecting on the award win, our Managing Director, Stefanie Inger, says,
“We were absolutely delighted and genuinely surprised to hear our name announced as the winner. To be recognised at a national level by our industry is an incredible achievement and one that belongs to every member of our team. I’m enormously proud of how hard everyone works, and extremely thankful to our customers, suppliers and partners who continue to support us. This award gives us even more motivation as we look ahead to the next chapter in the company’s history.”
We’re looking ahead to the next 70 years.
While this week is a chance to stop and celebrate, we’re still focused on learning new techniques and trying new approaches.
We’ve seen major changes in pest control methods over the past seven decades, and we’ve always combined our knowledge with the latest technology. Today, we focus on responsible pest management, making the most of prevention, monitoring, and targeted interventions to protect people, businesses, and the environment.
We want to thank our customers, partners and suppliers for supporting us over the past 70 years, and we look forward to working with you in the decades to come.
