Don't need someone to run sites as either I do that myself or my existing team leader will do that and if you think after 2 years in the industry 80% of lads would have the experience to fully understand and complete most of the work we do without supervision you'd be very wrong

After two years in the industry, can neither tie their own boots  laces, ID ten tree species, tie 5 knots or sharpen a saw - down here.  It's not funny and I'm not laughing .  K

Above average for area but like I say I'm not going to say on a national forum because.. well see previous posts about I'm worth £600 a day and you provide lunch and afternoon beers.
I'm not paying someone on the books what a decent lad can earn freelance climbing international hero style but nor do I need that man 5 days a week 52 weeks of the year with no expenses except getting to work and his lunch and no stress filling his week or getting nothing if a jobs canceled due to shit wether, that's my stress.
All I'm after is enough experience to be safe and not need watching every minute or need telling that after putting 1 branch in the chipper there's normally another to follow and have enough pride in the job not to be another **************** it that's near enough who's going to notice.
If someone is serious we will talk money Face to face but I need to know they are worth it.

Not just with you unfortunately!
But round here we have plenty doing a 8week course becoming fully qualified and knowing everything they need to too successfully set up on there own with a massive grant for gear, employ a appreciate and take on anything that comes there way...
Then shit themselves when they take on something well out there experience level and either walk away from a half done job or really get a shock when we say how much to turn up with a ton of gear to finish it for them.

Your doing the right thing John by not discussing wages etc for every man and his dog to see,like you say that’s to talk about at a interview stage,it’s still early days and you will know when the right person comes along,it’s to good a job opportunity to be passed up

Thankyou, wise reply.

Another thing in your favour John is that serious contenders will see your kit and realise that their career will be enhanced by the fact that they won’t be spending too much time busting their arse handballing rings into the back of a Transit or similar tasks.

It's going to be hard to attract people from other parts of the country/ world if they don't know before they leave how much they expect to earn before they trial.

 

Would you start a tree job with the client paying you what they felt the job was worth to them?

No but they can discuss it over the phone but I don't think a public forum is the place to advertise to all your competitors either just like you wouldn't post up a picture of a tree you just quoted thismorning telling everyone you put £800 on it for Ben's tree services round the corner to go I know that tree I'll do it for £750 [emoji1596]

Enhance and prolong!
I know as have plenty of work related injuries and long term damage from years of slogging my arse of manually doing everything which is having a affect on my life everyday now.
