Tampa, Fla.-based Arrow Environmental Services, a subsidiary of Environmental Pest Service, has acquired Casselberry, Fla.-based Miller Enviro-Care. Terms were not disclosed. The deal expands Arrow’s presence in the central Florida market, and adds $1.65 million in annual pest, termite and lawn service revenues.

“Arrow is proud to welcome Miller Enviro-Care to our growing team,” says Brad Pitts, regional VP of Arrow Environmental Services. “We are excited to work with their team in the metro Orlando area, and look forward to providing the same level of high-quality service their customers have come to expect.”

For more than 11 years, Miller Enviro-Care has been serving the residents of Orange, Lake, Osceola and Seminole counties with pest, termite and lawn services. The office will merge with Arrow’s current Altamonte Springs, Fla., branch location. In addition, 11 employees, including service technicians and administrative staff, will join the Arrow team.

“I’m excited about the partnership with Arrow,” says Steve Miller, owner of Miller Enviro-Care. “They are focused on exceeding customer expectations, and I’m confident our customers will continue to be satisfied with their service.”

Arrow Exterminators recently held its annual Fiscal Year Kickoff meeting at The Grand Hyatt in its headquarters city of Atlanta, Ga. With 300 team members in attendance, the two-day event celebrated achievements from the prior fiscal year, including a record-breaking milestone of achieving double-digit revenue growth for the eighth year in a row. The meeting also focused on a strong start to the 2018-2019 fiscal year and introduced the internal fiscal year “What’s Next!” theme.

The company also introduced Arrow’s new Vision and Mission statements, to more clearly reflect its direction.

“A vision and mission statement are intended to be both an aspirational and inspirational guide for internal decision-making,” says Emily Thomas Kendrick, president and CEO. “We thought it was important to highlight the importance of protecting the Arrow family culture, providing an awesome customer experience, creating new opportunities for future Rock Stars, and working with a clear conscience. It’s simply what we do.”

The second day of the meeting was dedicated to a leadership and motivational workshop hosted by Mark Miller, author of the bestselling book Talent Magnet.

“Mark Miller’s workshop was the perfect fit for Arrow as he emphasized what it takes to attract and keep the best people for your organization,” says Tim Pollard, senior executive VP and COO. “The focus on attracting top talent with a better boss, a brighter future, and bigger vision resonated with our team and the managers left motivated and a renewed sense of commitment.”
