Industry Mourns John Hope

John worked in the industry for over 30 years, and recently set up ACT; his auditing, consultancy and training company. Previously he was the technical manager of the National Pest Technician's Association (NPTA). 

BPCA Head of Technical, Dee Ward-Thompson, worked with John for many years. 

She said:

“John had so much passion for the pest control industry. He passed this on to the many people who had the pleasure of being trained by him or sought his advice over the years.

“John will be deeply missed. He is a massive loss to the pest control industry.”

Our thoughts are with his wife Julie, and their family and friends at this time. John and his passion for the industry will be sadly missed by many.

Rest in peace, John.
