I'd say go for it Mark, but you need to cover your back with the plant.

 

If the truck and chipper get wiped out on the M20 on your job, for instance, you'll be in about £45k's worth of pain.

 

Good opportunity though, mate. Get the small print sorted and go for it!

 

You'll recognise me if you come onto my turf, I'll be the one holding the Beretta....:sneaky2::001_tt2:

It's a good opportunity but as Mark says you need to cover yourself.

 

The trouble is with arb work is you have to do a lot of it to pay. You'll have to get your own 3rd Party as you say but also if someone is helping you employers liability.

 

Also what if the chipper gets nicked etc? I know very unlikely but it can and does happen.

 

How about focusing on maybe doing hedge trimming? Good money, much less liability, no need for the chipper.... then all you need is to borrow the truck and hedge trimmer.

 

Your boss sounds a top man!
