Rentokil Initial on Thursday celebrated the 50th anniversary since its humble beginnings as a small business in Georgetown.
The company marked the anniversary at a cocktail reception at the Marriott Hotel, at Kingston, Georgetown.
At the event, the company took the opportunity to thank customers for their loyalty over the years, while showcasing new products which will be introduced to the Guyana market.
Rentokil Initial Area Director (Caribbean) Stephen Frost, who hosted the event, praised the company’s longstanding customers, thanking them for their loyalty, which has contributed to the company’s growth and longevity over the years in the Guyana market. “It’s not every day you come across a company that has steadfastly served its customers for half a century. In the past four to five years of global economic upheaval, we are seeing so many businesses around us lose their footing. And yet Rentokil Initial has remained,” he said.
Rentokil Initial General Manager Margaret Humphrey also applauded the employees of Rentokil Initial Guyana for growing the business into a market leader position. “One just needs five minutes in the office to sense that it is more that “an office.” It’s a family of dedicated members who are passionate about what they do. They truly live for our core values of service, relationships and teamwork,” she said. Humphrey also unveiled the new Signature Range of Hygiene products that the company is introducing to deliver high standards of hygiene in Guyana.
Rentokil Initial is one of the largest hygiene, pest control and essential service companies in the world. The company provides services in over 68 countries, with almost 28,000 employees worldwide. It currently has Caribbean offices in the Bahamas, Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Martinique and Trinidad & Tobago.
