SARASOTA, Fla. – Environmental Pest Service, one of the fastest-growing pest control companies in the nation, is adding three key staffers to lead the company in process improvement, information technology and personnel training.

Sarasota-based EPS is the parent company of Arrow Environmental Services in west and central Florida, Bug Out Service in north Florida, Skyline Pest Solutions in metro Atlanta, and State Pest Control in central North Carolina. It is announcing the following hires:

He earned a bachelor’s degree in Information Technology from the University of Phoenix. “I want to look at innovative ways to streamline our customer-facing functions to make it even easier for customers to interact with EPS,” he said.

Janet Jordan, who was formerly EPS’ interim IT director, is now the Director of Process Improvement, a new position at EPS. With more than 20 years of experience in project management in Chicago and Tampa Bay, she’ll focus on improving processes across the company. She earned a bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from Miami University of Ohio. “As EPS has grown, we’ve learned a lot about the best ways to run the business,” she said. “My goal is to achieve consistency as we continue to assimilate our different brand platforms.”
