Kev Stanley
A veteran of the bird control scene in the UK, Kev has spent over 30 years solely working in urban bird control, adapting styles and types of proofing as the needs of the client and pressure from the birds changed. He has been an installer, supervisor, surveyor, and manager, but in all those roles has carried on assisting with the install process, something he considers to be the best part of his job. He has worked on sites varying from small domestic properties to the Houses of Parliament and part of a £1 billion rail redevelopment scheme.
