About

Andy Ransom will join us to tell the Rentokil Initial story focusing on people, innovation, digital and M&A.

Now a FTSE 100 company, Rentokil Initial plc is an organisation that consistently sets itself apart and has won a number of awards as an employer, innovator and digital leader. It has an M&A ‘Deal a Week’ machine and has created TSR of over 500% over the last seven years, taking the company from 160th in the FTSE to FTSE50.

In this session, Andy will share the story of his own career journey as well as Rentokil Initial's exceptional growth - ask whether the customer should always come first and tell a few ratty tales.
