Best young climber in the country looking for work North West

[wildflowerbill]

OK I am a little biased, he's my son. He's been working for my tree surgeon for eighteen months and has self funded all his courses, completing his climbing and aerial rescue last winter. He now just wants to climb, and no wonder, he's a natural, and he has had a chainsaw in his hand since the age of 10, oops! He's already contacted a couple of companies and so I said I would ask here if anyone has something coming up? And any advice appreciated.

 

Cheers

Fair play on being a supportive dad, unfortunately I’ve binned so many young lads because their dads have bigged them up so much so I give them a start and it was usually a huge anti climax when a wee shy goofy teenager would turn up who sometimes helped his dad with logs!

Get the lad to start his own thread I say, goes a long way using your own initiative!

He's based in cheshire.. and I can well Imagine some of the young lads you have seen Stephen lol,  but my son aint one of them.  As for lacking initiative, hardly,  for as I said he has already contacted a couple of companies direct, who I know, and approve of, and so I suggested I also put the feelers out on here for him. 

 

If you have anything specific you want to ask then ask Stephen, before lumping him in with your understandable, but jaded recruitment history, but I'd gladly wager you would be offering him a job within an hour. Whether he would accept is another thing

And I will add then, as it's been bugging me all day, that while I understand what you are saying Stephen/Steve? My boy aint no kid anymore, hes a young man, he's ripped from hard graft and far wiser than I was at his age. The tree surgeon he has been working for specializes in tricky domestic jobs and so Tom has packed in a lot of experience. He sailed through his courses and the "probably the best young climber..." quote was from his last instructor.  He has also taken down several trees at some of my clients, and I agree. I'm just glad he's wearing safety gear now as he used to scare the fuck out of me as a kid!! In that respect he hasn't changed, he just wants to climb trees.

 

He's the real deal, someone will be thanking me and buying me a pint

Good for him, genuinely. 

 

Its a fair point though. It'd be more interesting to hear from the lad himself, no offense meant.

A point yes, a fair one, questionable. Giving me your contact details if you have anything, and me happily putting him in touch with you, would be quite fair too, sup to you.  As a member here I thought I would ask for him.
