Active Solutions and Xenex Associates Launch PestBusiness.com

LONDON — Active Solutions and Xenex Associates announced the launch of PestBusiness.com, a business resource and a series of business-orientated pest management events. The announcement was made at PestEx2007, held in London in April.

“The U.S is already well served by online news media and a wide range of business-related conferences and seminars,” said Frances McKim, partner in Active Solutions. “But what about the rest of the world? If you’re interested in what’s going on in the pest management business outside the (United) States, then PestBusiness.com is the place for you. In establishing the PestBusiness.com website we will be offering a dynamic source of essential international pest management business information which we will continue to expand and develop.”

The PestBusiness.com Web site is designed to help company owners, directors and senior managers to access to the information that they need to succeed in the global market place. “For example, if you want to know what pest management events are happening, where and when then PestBusiness.com should be your first stop,” McKim added. As well as the worldwide events listing the website currently includes: key business articles from the international trade press; who’s who in the industry; a gallery of images from global pest management events and details of the first PestBusiness.com business seminar.

Rob Fryatt, director of Xenex, is enthusiastic about the event side of the business. “Many colleagues in the global pest control business have discussed with me the need for pest management events targeted at the owners and directors of companies. With its business-focused approach PestBusiness.com will offer conferences and seminars designed for industry professionals.”

The first PestBusiness.com event, titled “Beyond Agriculture – Opportunities to Diversify,” will take place on Oct. 16, 2007, at the SECC, Glasgow, Scotland, during the XVI International Plant Protection Congress organized by BCPC in association with IAPPS. The Congress attracts visitors from around the world so it is an ideal event for PestBusiness.com to link up with.

PestBusiness.com events will allow company owners, directors and senior managers to take a fresh look at their businesses and will offer highp-calier speakers who will share their expertise and experiences and raise strategic issues that pest control business leaders should be addressing.
