In developing and maintaining its industry-leading capabilities, Rentokil Initial launched its new global research and development centre in 2017 known as The Power Centre, to house its scientific and technical hub and training academy in a single location. It was a £2m investment which expanded their facilities significantly to become their new home for science, innovation, and training.
Their success as an innovative global pest control company is only made possible through their team of scientists, technologists, and technicians, and this centre of excellence provided them with the facilities and resources needed to drive industry-leading innovations for pest control.
The Power Centre allows Rentokil Initial to be at the forefront of pest control innovation and technology by creating, prototyping, and testing cutting-edge pest control solutions with one of the largest collections of pest insects in Europe. It includes facilities like culture rooms, fly rooms and rodent pens that allow the research and development team to understand and monitor the pests, test the application and efficacy of pest control solutions, and simulate real-world environments during testing as part of the regulatory approval process.
