David Pinniger
David Pinniger’s passion for insects started as a boy when he helped his amateur entomologist father catch, identify, and release dragonflies. He began his career as a food inspector with the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF) and later became a research scientist for the MAFF Central Science Laboratory in Slough. In 1996, he transitioned to an independent consultant, offering specialist advice and training on pest management in museums, galleries, archives, and historic houses. David currently serves as the pest management strategy adviser for English Heritage and consults for numerous national museums, galleries, and historic houses across the UK. He is a Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society. His contributions to preventive conservation were recognized with the 2008 Plowden Medal, and he was awarded an MBE in the Queen’s 2008 Birthday Honours list.
