There is a good article in the June issue of Pest Control Technology on the acquisition of Middleton Pest Control by Massey Services of Florida. In the article, Massey CEO Harvey Massey is quoted extensively, with a special focus on the integration process, which was the result of careful planning which resulted in a 25-page integration plan. “The whole integration plan has gone along better, smoother, and faster than anyone anticipated,” Harvey said, “and we haven’t had to lay off one person. We’ve been blessed.”
Interestingly, a Massey spokesman is quoted as saying “All of our acquisitions have been opportunistic as opposed to strategic in nature.”
