Chris Rearick - Residential Service Technician of the Year– Mantua N.J branch
“Chris was recruited at a job fair, and no idea what pest control was all about. After flying through his training, we had a unique opportunity to acquire another small pest control in our area, that was around for 50 years. We asked Chris to jump in and sometimes being superman, and switching from one uniform to another, never missing a beat. He out sold and was one of our leading productive technicians in 2017.” 

Jason Walker – Commercial Technician of the Year – Chester, Pa. branch
“Jason has (hands down) the toughest commercial route in our company. He works in Chester PA, which is rated one of the WORST and dangerous cities in the USA. He takes pride in what he does, and just wants to rid homes and business, regardless of where they are located, of pest. He is dedicated and also dresses up and puts his best dance moves in our mascot, “Bugsbee” entertaining the Autism Foundations, fans at the Philadelphia Union Soccer Games and even the great people at the Ronald McDonald Homes.” 

Mike Jenzano - Salesman of the Year for 2017
"Mike is our longest tenure employee, at 26 years and counting. Starting when he was 16, he worked summers and weekends while in school and through college. He has done every job at Hoffman’s without complaint. But his true talent is when we moved him into Sales and Account Management. His dedication and loyalty to his customers and us, is remarkable and if I’m not available, our customers will ask for him knowing his thinks and responds as if it were me. His sales this year, were the highest in his career, and I don’t think that record will stand for long with him."
