Simon is the editor of Pest magazine and he also edits another Lewis Business Media title, OvertheCounter, a magazine aimed at the animal health industry.  

With more than 30 years’ experience in business-to-business journalism, Simon has sat on judging panels in several different industries and says it is a privilege to be involved in recognising achievements of individuals and businesses.  

He said he enjoyed reading all the entries this year and he encourages winners to promote their win to customers – winning an award can really drive a business, or individual, forward.  

Simon looks forward to meeting the finalists and celebrating the very best of the UK pest control industry at the gala dinner in London.
