Who We Are
The UPC Group is a friendly, independent Pest Control and Facilities Management company based in Gedling, Nottingham. For over 20 years, we’ve been providing reliable, high-quality services to clients across Nottinghamshire, the East Midlands and throughout the UK.
We’re proud to be a business that combines professional expertise with a personal, down-to-earth approach. Whether it’s a local pest control call-out or a nationwide facilities management contract, we bring the same level of care, commitment and attention to detail to every job.
The UPC Group was founded by Jonathan Simpson, whose background as a building surveyor within the pest division of a global facilities management company gave him both industry insight and a vision for something better. He recognised a gap in the market for an environmental services company that prioritised both quality and customer care – and so Universal Pest Control was born.
Thanks to Jonathan’s strong work ethic and hands-on approach, the business quickly grew. Known for going the extra mile, he soon expanded services to include grounds maintenance, fly-tipping clearance and site refurbishments. This led to the creation of UPC Management Services just three years later, forming what is now The UPC Group.
Today, our core values remain the same: to be passionate and knowledgeable, to build trust through clear communication, and to deliver excellent service – every single time.
To provide dependable, high-quality pest control and facilities management services with a personal touch, offering peace of mind to clients across all sectors, from local residents to national brands.
Professionalism – We deliver on our promises and take pride in a job well done.
Integrity – We build trust by being honest, transparent and respectful.
Customer First – Every client matters to us. We listen, respond and tailor our service to your needs.
Teamwork – We’re a close-knit team who support one another, ensuring smooth and reliable service delivery.
Pride in Our Work – Whether cleaning a site, removing pests or managing a full facilities project, we treat your property as if it were our own.
A Personal Guarantee
Jonathan remains at the heart of the business, involved in the day-to-day and ensuring our values are upheld. His aim has never changed: to run a business that’s rooted in integrity, personal service, and a genuine commitment to excellence.
On the rare occasion he’s not answering emails, you might find him on the golf course or out running around Southwell – but rest assured, the same passion that started The UPC Group still drives everything we do today.
