Accreditation with the Arb Association

[Guy]

Hi, I would like to gain accreditation as a professional contractor possibly with the Arb association.

 

I have a small to medium tree surgery business, mainly domestic work but some commercial work with hotels, retirement homes etc

 

Are there many companies out there who have gone through this process??

 

Any advice would be great

Cheers Guy

Hello Guy and thank you for posting an enquiry about the 'ARB Approved Contractor' Scheme.

 

Whilst I acknowledge yor seeking views "straight from the horses mouth", so to speak, if you have any specifc questions or queries please don't hesitate to contact me.

 

The process is fairly straight forward to be honest and, from 2011, if you are a 'small' contractor, i.e. upto 5 people (inc. the employer), it will be much simpler AND much better value.

 

Best regards..

Paul

Hi Paul, Thanks for the response. I am very interested in gaining accreditation with the AA. How do I go about it? I am a small contractor - less than 5 employees - but we are very busy doing mainly domestic work but some commercial work. We would like to get more commercial work and I think gaining accreditation would help immensely as well as ensiring we are up to date with health and safety.

 

Thanks Guy
