FREDERICKSBURG, Va. - PermaTreat Pest Control is proud to recognize CEO Emeritus Joe Wilson for his inclusion in Virginia Business’ “Virginia 500: 2020 Power List,” a comprehensive list of the state’s most powerful and influential corporate and community leaders. In creating the inaugural 2020 Power List, the outlet took into account organizations’ annual revenue, newsworthiness, community involvement, diversity, number of employees and how large a presence each organization has in the commonwealth. Wilson and PermaTreat were included in the list’s retail/wholesale services section.
“It’s such an honor to be included on the 2020 Power List alongside so many incredible Virginians, many of whom inspire me on a daily basis,” Wilson said. “Our top priority at PermaTreat is taking care of our customers and our community, and I know that’s the key to our success. I’ve used those guiding principles in my life as well, always putting people and their concerns first whenever possible.”
Prior to purchasing PermaTreat Pest Control in 1982, Wilson spent 17 years with Orkin Pest Control, working his way up to Regional Vice President responsible for the Midwest, overseeing 13 states. In 2014, PermaTreat was acquired by Rollins, Inc. Today, PermaTreat has more than 120 employees serving more than 30,000 customers.
In addition to acting as CEO Emeritus of PermaTreat, Wilson is also board chair for the Mary Washington Hospital Foundation, and previously held the title of Fredericksburg City Councilman. Wilson also serves on the state board for GO Virginia.
