Ronnie Galea, a longstanding employee of Comtec Services Limited, celebrated his 50th work anniversary with the company last month.

Indeed, on Sunday 19th February 2023, it was exactly 50 years since Ronnie began his employment with Comtec.

For this occasion, the company’s management organised a surprise party to which all employees who have ever worked with Ronnie during this half century were invited to attend.

Tony Zahra, Chairman of Comtec Services Ltd, said that the work of Ronnie Galea during these years is a testimony of his loyalty to the company and certainly a wonderful example for all employees who worked or still work with him.

In February 1973 Ronnie Galea was employed in the position of Administrator which at that time was based out of Church Street, Sliema. In the 80s, he continued to be nurtured professionally in his career in the pest control industry, including specialised courses in pest control held in England.  Over the years he obtained several qualifications and honors from established institutions in his field.

In 2021 he was awarded the prestigious international honor of Pest Controller of the Year Award by an accredited British institution. In this same period, he was then instituted as an Administrative Director, a position held until he reached retirement age.

Ronnie has always kept himself up to date in his career with visits abroad for courses, conferences and exhibitions. Today, he is considered an expert in the field as well as a consultant in the pest control industry.

Ronnie was also chosen by the Malta Standards Authority to represent Malta with other European chosen experts, to formulate a European Pest Control Standard applicable for all European countries.

Ronnie Galea currently holds the position of Senior Technical Officer as well as consultant in the practice of pest control.
