 So that's kind of the aspiration really, to work with a team that care about their job and gain satisfaction from it if that makes any sense?   

Don’t worry, we’ll soon have that beaten out of you.

Hi Tom, I certainly wouldn't underestimate the physical demand in this job. If yr office based fr ten years that will be hard. As yr technically minded I would certainly look at an ISA qualifications as this will let you get in on a wider spread of work. Bashing yr way up from the bottom will be hard though at 26 yr certainly at the right age. The exitement of using chainsaws wears off. The rain doesn't.  K

Thanks for the tips Khriss! 
Luckily only the last 5 years have been office based and the first 5 was my apprenticeship and qualified time, we're an industrial and commercial contractor so it was hard graft but i'm under no illusion that the office life has made me relax haha! 

I like to go rock climbing in my spare time, i'm by no means a big lad more of a twig but like to think i can hold my own and prove my worth hopefully! A strong positive mental attitude helps i like to think ?

Glendales are hiring ...but then, they always are which is its own answer K

To be honest Tom, the best climbers I have seen are little slight blokes as it's how you do it not how much you can lift in a tree. K

Ah thanks Khriss, it was one of my main concerns to be honest.

I did manage to prove myself throughout my apprenticeship to those who didn't think i'd cut it, so hopefully would be able to do the same again.
