Plymouth, Massachusetts – October 14, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Pilgrim Pest Professionals announced recognition for a three-year run as a category winner in the Best of the South Shore (BOSS) awards for 2023, 2024, and 2025, as well as selection as the Cranberry Country Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year for 2023. The BOSS awards, administered by South Shore Home, Life & Style magazine, are determined by community voting. The Chamber’s Business of the Year distinction is conferred by the organization to acknowledge business performance and community involvement during the preceding year.
The company was named the BOSS winner in the Pest Control category in each of the past three award cycles. The Chamber honor was presented to Pilgrim Pest Professionals at the organization’s annual meeting, recognizing the company’s contributions to local initiatives alongside business growth. Together, the recognitions reflect community and peer acknowledgment across consecutive years.
“These awards are meaningful because they come from two different constituencies: residents who vote in the BOSS program and local business leaders through the Chamber,” said Dan Forand, president and chief executive officer of Pilgrim Pest Professionals. “We view this feedback as a responsibility to maintain consistent service standards and to continue engaging with community organizations.”
The BOSS program gathers nominations and votes from readers to highlight businesses across a range of service and lifestyle categories. Winners are published by the magazine and recognized at an annual event. Pilgrim Pest Professionals’ three-year result in the Pest Control category indicates sustained community support during successive voting periods and underscores familiarity with the company’s work among area households and businesses.
The Cranberry Country Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year designation is selected from a pool of nominees within the Chamber’s membership. Criteria include overall business performance and documented community involvement. According to the Chamber’s published materials, the award is intended to highlight organizations that demonstrate leadership and positive impact. Pilgrim Pest Professionals’ recognition followed a year marked by volunteer activity and support for local causes.
“Our team appreciates the visibility that comes with these acknowledgments, but the practical outcome is internal,” Forand said. “Awards set a benchmark we can measure against as we plan training, field operations, and community commitments for the year ahead.”
Pilgrim Pest Professionals’ recent recognition follows documented community contributions. Company leadership has reported donations exceeding $20,000 to local charities, including programs serving veterans and first responders, along with support for youth and school initiatives in Middleborough. The organization has sponsored local athletics such as Plymouth youth basketball and participated in regional fundraisers. In 2023, a family-led, company-sponsored cross-country cycling effort raised more than $15,000 for veteran support at a Plymouth-based farm organization. These activities, conducted alongside routine business operations, reflect an ongoing emphasis on civic participation within the company’s service area.
