The National Pest Technicians Association has announced the retirement of its chief operating officer Steve Hallam, following a successful handover period to the association’s new chief executive Kevin Lawrenson.
Mr Hallam, who joined the NPTA in May 2019, has played a pivotal role in strengthening the association. During his tenure, he focused on building a strong foundation for the organisation, enhancing membership support, and raising industry standards. His contributions have positioned the NPTA for long-term growth and continued success in serving pest control professionals across the UK.
NPTA chairman John Davison expressed gratitude for Mr Hallam’s dedication.
“On behalf of the NPTA board and our members, I would like to extend our sincere thanks to Steve Hallam for his unwavering commitment and service over the past five years,” Mr Davison said.
“His work has laid the groundwork for the future of the NPTA, and we are immensely grateful for his contributions. We wish him a long, happy, well-deserved retirement.”
With the formal handover process now completed, Mr Lawrenson , who joined the NPTA in 2024, has assumed full leadership of the association.
“I am honoured to lead the NPTA into its next chapter,” said Mr Lawrenson. “Steve has left the association in a strong position, and I look forward to building on the work he has done to ensure we continue delivering value and support to our members and the wider pest control community.”
