Retiring alexo

BPCA blazed a trail with client-facing magazine, alexo, which had similar aims to PestAware. We don’t have any plans to create any new issues of alexo, however the full catalogue of alexo magazines is still available through our website.

Many of the best articles from alexo will make their way on to the PestAware blog, making them available to even more end-users.

Goodbye alexo – you served us well.

CHIP IN!
