ATLANTA – Rollins and Northwest Exterminating announced today that they are welcoming McCall Service into the Rollins Family of Brands. McCall will join Northwest to create a Southeast-focused, regional platform business.
Based in Jacksonville, Fla., McCall Service has provided residential and commercial pest control services for more than 90 years to customers throughout North and Central Florida and South Georgia. This service territory fits perfectly with that of Northwest Exterminating which had previously expanded from Georgia into Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina and South Carolina.
This transaction highlights one of Rollins’ core acquisition philosophies - maintaining involvement from the families that have helped to build the pest control industry over generations. McCall Service has been led by the Cooksey family for generations, and Josh Cooksey will continue as general manager. “With the support that our partnership with Rollins and Northwest offers McCall, I look forward to remaining focused on the overall growth and success of each teammate and looking for opportunities to better serve our customers for years to come.” The combined McCall/Northwest business will continue to be led by members of the third generations of both the Cooksey and Phillips families.
Growing, while staying true to the brand and people, is the focus with any acquisition under Northwest and Rollins, said Stanford Phillips, Rollins Division Vice President. “McCall has an incredible reputation in our industry and with their customers. We’re excited to welcome the extraordinary team into our Northwest Family. We are grateful McCall chose to trust Northwest as a partner in growth moving forward and for the opportunities ahead for both brands.”
LR Tullius represented and acted as exclusive financial advisor to McCall on the transaction.
