I'm Eric Ufer. I'm the founder of Pest Solutions. We're a ten-year-old pest control company servicing residential, commercial, and governmental clients in Oregon and Southwest Washington. I got connected with BBSI through a community event. I just started Pest Solutions, and I knew that payroll and workers' comp was a very important component to growing a large company. It's confusing as a small business owner. And then payroll, of course, if you screw up your employees paychecks, they're not going to look at you too fondly. It just made sense to align with you guys right away. Working with BBSI has been terrific. Not only has BBSI always done a great job on our payroll and workers' comp, but to know that we had that HR expertise and all the other resources with safety and everything else, it's been a huge component to us having a great team. We've worked with you guys for nearly a decade now, and it's been incredible to watch the growth of both entities really. BBSI has supported us in so many different ways over the years. It's been terrific. Whenever we've had a challenge, if it's an employee issue or so forth, always a great resource to come to. We went ahead and started a new division, Lighting Solutions, and of course, BBSI was more than happy to supply the workers' comp and payroll there as well. Always having that asset behind me to go ahead and give me the support and trust and confidence was enormous. HR is probably the most significant challenge I had as a small business owner. I needed to focus on trying to make sure I had the best team, the best processes, and clients I possibly could. I had my hands full, and I'm grateful that I didn't have to worry about those components. I started Pest Solutions with a large vision. I wanted to have multiple offices, and so having somebody like BBSI with the footprint that they've got, geographic offices, and the expertise, and being a publicly traded company, I knew you guys would be able to support us in whatever capacity we needed in the future. I think one of the unique things about BBSI is they provide you personalized service where you really get to know your teammates that are representing you at BBSI, and having those relationships are invaluable. BBSI provided so many blessings to us. One of those in particular was, as a small business, you're of course going to have ups and downs. I never had to worry about BBSI and their loyalty and commitment to making sure that Pest Solutions could do everything we possibly could, not to just survive, but to thrive. Nobody else could do what BBSI provided. When I started Pest Solutions, one of the goals was to build an entity that another entity would see value in. We bought several companies over the years that BBSI helped us incorporate, and it was amazing the help we got there. Recently, I'm proud to say that Terminix went ahead and acquired Pest Solutions, and my family, our teammates, and our clients are all going to benefit from all the support that BBSI provided us. Without the support that BBSI provided us on payroll, workers' comp, HR, and all the other things that they brought to us, I don't think we would have achieved our end goal. I can't thank BBSI and their amazing team enough. Starting a small business is easy. Growing a small business with a great team of employees, that's hard. One of the best decisions I made was starting with BBSI from day one. They offered the payroll, the workers' comp, the HR, the safety- all the components that are essential to building a solid company from the ground up that will be durable over time.
