Shame I didnt get to go to this one. Seems a little odd that one of the largest Arb companies in the country hold a seminar on this subject, yet aren't AAAC's themselves? Bizarre.

Hi Andy,

 

I think that's just circumstance in that they work principally in the utility sector where the accreditation has very limited value...or maybe relevance, directly. We are seeing an increase in utility contractors looking at the accreditation though.

 

Still, as a host venue I think its great they consider any subject area that may be of interest to local conractors, regardless of whether they buy into it or not themselves. The previous 'talk' was the air ambulance people giving some pointers on how best to manage a serious acident event....very interesting by all accounts.

 

It was a great venue, interesting 'metal tree' (for indoor tree climbing training / aerial rescue practice), and many thanks to those who came along!

 

watch out for the next one...first Wed. of every month they aim for.

 

Cheers..

Paul

 

PS Great 'coffee n biccies' (chocolate!) too..."thanks Mutley, yummy!!!"

Hi all

 

Hope you had a good everning those who came, selecting nursary stock next month. in answer to andys question, when i started at bts 3 1/2 years ago one of my targets was to get aa aproval, we were doing almost everything needed with the excaprion of enough high quality 'aminity' tree work. its taken this long to get things in that bit up to speed and we will be appling soon.

 

But also we are trying to facilitate interesting and relevant stuff any idears welcome.
