P+L SYSTEMS has acquired pest control company SX Environmental Supplies from its founder Richard Lunn, for an undisclosed sum.

The Knaresborough-based company, which provides services such as pest control and washroom hygiene services for the facilities management industry, said there had been a considerable amount of consolidation in the industry and it was important that P+L Systems remained competitive.

Peter Mangion, managing director of P+L Systems, said: “We are delighted to be welcoming the SX Environmental brand and business into the P+L Systems family.

“Richard Lunn and his team have built a strong business in SX and we are delighted that the team there will remain with us to help with the next stage of the company’s development.

“This is an important strategic acquisition for P+L Systems, one which broadens our offer to our increasingly wide pest control and facilities management customer base across Europe.”

SX Environmental will remain based in the south of England.
