About Intelligent Pest Control

Technical Director

Matthew Pitcher

“My background is in falconry, which I started at the age of 11 and which led to a professional career for many years before I moved into commercial pest control. Now, in my role as Technical Director, I have accumulated over 20 years of professional pest control experience, and in that time, I have seen many sights and overcome many pest challenges. With my vast experience, I ensure that our team of technicians and our clients have the technical support they need on a day-to-day basis. Our clients range from private residents to hoteliers, food manufacturers, and those in the pharmaceutical industry.”

“Our clients really appreciate our professionalism and the work we do for them, which gives me great job satisfaction.”

Operations Director

Jonathan Fox

One of our founders, Jonathan Fox, passed away in April 2026. He has been at the head of the company for over 21 years. He will be dearly missed.

“I’ve worked in the professional pest control industry since 2002, initially as a surveyor and now as Operations Director for Intelligent pest control. In addition to the daily running of the business I’m responsible for taking care of all new commercial enquiries along with many of our domestic customers during busy times.”

“The best thing about my job is the variety of different things I deal with on a daily basis and it’s great to be able to solve peoples pest problems.”

Gary Shaw

“With years of experience in the pest control industry, I’ve dedicated myself to providing efficient, eco-friendly solutions for all your pest-related challenges. Throughout my career, I’ve built a reputation for not just addressing pest issues, but for delivering lasting peace of mind to my customers.”

“Outside of pest control, I have a unique passion for falconry, and I’m currently learning the ancient art with my Peregrine Falcon, Ernie. This fascinating journey with Ernie has brought fresh perspectives to my work, blending nature’s wisdom with modern pest control methods. I truly enjoy the challenge of caring for him and incorporating falconry into my approach, making it an exciting and rewarding addition to the business.”

Alex Jeffrey

“After spending 4 years in the British army, I transitioned into the pest control industry where I have thoroughly enjoyed learning the trade. The pest control business is exciting to me as I am constantly learning new things and am able to solve problems for our customers, effectively stopping issues they may face. I enjoy interacting with my customers and working with our friendly team at Intelligent Pest Control.”

Technician

Jeremy Gillard

“After a long career as a dyer and production manager, a change of pace was needed. Pest control seems to be a perfect fit. My lifelong passion for natural history has proved very helpful with tracking animal signs and behaviours. I have enjoyed the extensive training provided to British Pest Control Standards. This has given me an extensive knowledge of pests and pest behaviour and how to effectively apply my knowledge to support our customers. The job offers a huge variety of diverse environments. No two days are ever the same!”
