I am not surprised that the OP has looked elsewhere to fill a role.
The amount of experienced Foresters that have left the industry since harvesters took over a large volume of cutting work has not been replaced by the younger generation. There is a massive shortage of good young cutters in Forestry, everyone wants to go into Arb.

thats problem with our country .everyone sits back and say thats just the way it is ...instead of doing something about it

So what’s your answer to the shortage of young Forestry hand cutters who want to train the Forestry units to get into Arb instead, I am all ears.

It’s the big players in the Industry that control the timber market Stubby, as well you know. You can’t pay more than the timber is currently worth to cut and extract.

out of a matter of interest what did you do to help theses cutters get retrained as harvester drivers so they werent unemployed ?

I don’t know what you are talking about?

I have worked in Forestry for 26 years, in that time I have observed most of the experienced older guys retiring or going into machine work. There are very few younger people coming through to replace them, that’s maybe why the OP has looked elsewhere for staff.

I know exactly what I am talking about, it seems there is only me that does in this conversation.

We are considering recruiting a gentleman from Poland who has lots of experience and a Certificate of Higher Education as a Forester Technician.  Will he have to go through all his UK tickets before he can work or is his Polish qualification transferable?  Any advice appreciated.  Thanks.

Did you recruit from Poland, or did they find you in the UK?
