groundie Brilliant groundie looking for work in Holland

[Andrew L]

Evening all,

I am very sad to be losing this guy who is off to Holland with his girlfriend.

He has only been with us for 6-7 weeks but more than long enough for me to say: highly recommended.

He is bright, strong, hard-working, switched-on but also sensible and polite to customers.  Only had to show him how to tie a bowline ONCE!

Disadvantages: does not have full driving licence, only auto.  Doesn't speak very good dutch but I suspect will pick it up rapidly.  No formal tree courses so far but can already sharpen a c/saw and use a grinder and chipper.

 

Any dutch colleagues in Leeuwarden or Dwingleoo areas please drop me a line and I will pass on your details to Toby.  He will be in Holland from 1/12/19.

 

Cheers

Andrew

Update:  Didn't I tell you he was good?  Last Saturday he took his CS30 and passed with no formal training.  So that's zero chainsaw or Arb experience 7 weeks ago: then CS30 pass.

Not to take anything away from him , but I think pretty much all of 30/31 is common sense . I passed it years ago having used a saw for several years I admit but no formal training . This by the way is also a " bump " for the lad ! ? Sounds like a very useful chap .
