Aptive Environmental Wins Stevie Awards

PROVO, Utah — Aptive Environmental received three Stevie Awards in the 19th Annual American Business Awards, bringing home gold in the Fastest Growing Company and Company of the Year – Business & Professional Services (Large) categories and a silver award in the Achievement in Management – Business and Professional Services category.

2021 marks the third year that Aptive has been recognized as part of the Stevies, a national business awards program. The judges’ comments regarding the company’s 2021 performance include:

• “Aptive is an impressive success story, from inception in 2015 to the seventh largest pest control firm in the U.S. by 2020.”

• “Great job on growing the business 33 percent YOY during a pandemic while also growing its volume of employees by 32 percent. To be able to grow in double digits in a year with massive layoffs and terminations is phenomenal. And it all ties back to the culture and treating your people well.”

• “Nice stats on business and employee growth. The call out about proprietary software as a competitive differentiator is interesting to note, as well. And it’s great to see the focus on employees and retention rate. Investing in employees is critical for continued success.”

Vess Pearson, Aptive’s co-founder and CEO, said, “During a year of challenges for businesses worldwide, Aptive maintained our consistent growth thanks to our commitment to excellence and those we serve. Our employees, our customers and our community will always be our first priority.
