We’re incredibly proud to share that Pest2Kill has been officially ranked #35 in the 2026 Inspiring Workplaces Awards Australasia, placing us among the Top 40 most people-first organisations across Australia and New Zealand.
The results were announced at an exclusive Gala Dinner at Doltone House Hyde Park in Sydney on 5 June 2026, and we were there alongside some of the biggest names in Australian business.
What Are the Inspiring Workplaces Awards?
The Inspiring Workplaces Awards are widely regarded as the world’s #1 recognition program for people-first organisations. Established in 2015, the awards celebrate businesses that go beyond tick-box HR policies to genuinely build cultures where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered to thrive.
Unlike many industry awards that rely on a quick online vote, the Inspiring Workplaces Awards require a rigorous written submission, assessed by an independent panel of expert judges across six key elements:
- Culture & Purpose
- Leadership
- Wellbeing
- Inclusion & Belonging
- Employee Voice
- Employee Experience
The Company We Kept
The 2026 Australasian Top 40 included some genuinely impressive organisations: Flight Centre Travel Group, Hungry Jack’s, The NRMA, Ventia, and Douglas Pharmaceuticals, among many others.
To finish #35 alongside businesses of that scale, while being a proudly independent, Sydney-based pest control company – is something our whole team can feel genuinely proud of.
Why a People-First Culture Makes Us a Better Pest Control Company
We know what you might be thinking: what does workplace culture have to do with getting rid of cockroaches?
Everything, actually.
At Pest2Kill, we’ve always believed that the quality of our pest management services is directly tied to the quality of our team. When our people feel respected, supported, and motivated, it shows in every service call, every termite inspection, every cockroach treatment, and every client interaction across Greater Sydney.
Here’s how our people-first approach translates into a better experience for our clients:
Happy technicians do better work. Our licensed pest control technicians take genuine pride in their craft. That shows in the thoroughness of every treatment – whether it’s a general pest inspection for a home in Mosman, a cockroach control program for a strata complex in the Eastern Suburbs, or a commercial pest management contract for a hospitality venue in the CBD.
Strong culture means low turnover. High staff turnover is rife in the pest control industry. At Pest2Kill, our team stability means you’re more likely to get a familiar, experienced face, a technician who knows your property and your pest history.
A team that communicates well serves clients well. The same values of clear communication, respect, and professionalism that we build internally are the values our technicians bring to every job.
A Decade in the Making
Founded in 2015 by Directors Julian Bracewell and Phil Taylor, Pest2Kill started as something of a counterpoint to the impersonal, reactive pest control experience that had become the industry norm. The idea was simple: treat people — whether clients or team members — the way you’d want to be treated yourself.
A decade on, we’re now one of Sydney’s fastest-growing pest management companies, with:
- 20,000+ satisfied clients across Greater Sydney
- 1,500+ five-star reviews on Google and the major service platforms
- 5 offices across the city – Bondi Junction, Sydney CBD, Mosman, Drummoyne, and Turramurra
- 25 licensed pest control technicians covering every corner of the Greater Sydney region
- Industry certifications including PestCert, HACCP, Cm3, and active membership of the Australian Environmental Pest Managers Association (AEPMA)
That growth hasn’t come at the expense of our culture. If anything, it’s been powered by it.
What This Means Going Forward
Finishing in the Top 40 Inspiring Workplaces across Australasia is a milestone, but it’s not a destination. It’s validation that the way we’re building this business – putting people first is the right approach.
For our residential clients needing a trusted pest inspection before purchase, or our commercial clients requiring ongoing integrated pest management, it means you’re partnering with a company that invests as seriously in its people as it does in its treatments and technology.
And for anyone who’s ever wondered why Pest2Kill consistently receives five-star reviews praising the friendliness, professionalism, and care of our technicians – this is why.
