Subby looking for work and contacts

[Jontreasure]

Hi All

 

A few year ago I started a similar thread and unfortunately as of last month my work has slowed a lot.

 

I'm currently a self employed working as a subby climber and carrying out a certain percentage of my own work.

 

I'm based near Guildford and am on the look out for work in the Surrey area or further afield if the right opportunity presents.

 

I'm NPTC qualified with CS 30, 31, 39, Aerial Rescue (38) and CS47 chainsaw use from a MEWP. I also hold the relevant NPTC for the use of a stump grinder and brushwood chipper.

 

Further useful qualifications include Appointed person first aid, street works signing lighting and guarding and a fully clean C + E Drivers licence.

 

I finished my National Diploma in Arboriculture in September 2009 and have worked in the industry since.

 

I have my own climbing kit and 200t, I also have ground saws clearing gear and a transit tipper. I also carry full business insurance.

 

I would also love the opportunity to get involved with the training industry. Having had the opportunity to work a Merrist Wood for a couple of days and helping train the student climbing competitors there, I found passing on my experiences from work and college very rewarding. So if any of the training companies or collages are looking for an extra hand please get in touch.

 

If anyone can help it would be much appreciated. Please just PM me, send an email [email protected] or give me a call on 07981341114.

 

I am more than happy to provide good references on request.

 

Sorry for the long winded essay

good luck mate. I'm in Essex and in the same boat. Things are bad for freelance climbers at the moment. I think I may be leaving our shores for the summer .... or perhaps moving out the the tree industry

sorry your in the same position. The problem i have is that i need subby work to fill in around my own jobs. When the market gets quiet not only does my work slow but the subcontracting, understandably, dries up.

 

Best of luck
