I began my career in pest control back in 2007, at just 18 years old, working for my brother’s newly-established company in central London. While this career path might seem unconventional to some, it was a natural fit for me. From a young age, I’ve always been captivated by wildlife and spent much of my time outdoors, enjoying activities like fishing, hiking, scuba diving, and keeping exotic pets—much to the dismay of my sisters!

Though I expected the job to be varied and interesting (no two days are ever the same in pest control), I couldn’t have predicted the media exposure that would soon follow. In 2010, I was featured in the BBC1 prime-time show, ‘The Rat Pack’, an eight-part series that followed the daily adventures of me, my brother, and the true star of the show—Charlie, a rat-catching terrier (sadly no longer with us). The show was a success, drawing in millions of viewers and contributing to the company’s growth. It wasn’t long before I was receiving daily honks from passing cars!
