NE Region - 'ArbAC' LA Nominations

[AA Teccie (Paul)]

Hi all,

 

Just a quickie to advise the closing date for LAs (Local Authorities) nominating NE regional small business contractors for the 'FREE' assessment draw is nearing a close.

 

ALL nominations must be with us by close of play on 10th October and the associated workshop (FoC) is the following Wed. 11th October at Askham Bryan College.

 

SO, still time (just) to 'encourage' your LA Tree Officer to nominate you.

 

Hope to hear soon.

 

Thanks all..

Paul

Hi there,

 

See attached for further info but essentially if you can get a Local Authority Tree Officer to support you and nominate you you may be lucky and get drawn for a fre assessment (saving £495) or 2x half price assessments. There is a FoC workshop on TUESDAY 11th OCT. at Askham Bryan and you're more then welcomed to come along (just let Mel know at Head Office, tel. 01242 522152 or email [email protected])

 

Unfortunately tho you may be declined as buinesses have to have been running for a minimum of 2 yeasr before applying and you mention this is a new business venture.

 

Come along anyway and find out more, plus this opportunity will come round again in the future.

 

Regards and apologies for the delay replying!

 

Hope to see you there..

Cheers

Paul

SORRY for any confusion and inconvenience.

 

If you're joining us, great, but can you let Mel know (see above) and don;t forget you need to bring your own tucker..!

 

Cheers..

Hi there, apologies for the delay in replying but the thread got accidentaly 'locked out.'

 

Unfortunately, as the accrditation is applicable to the business, rather than the individual (even though, in practice, in micro-businesses the proprietor is essentially 'the business'), it is this which has to have been operational for a min. 2 years.

 

The reason it's in place is to demonstrate, all being well, the business is in for the long haul wanting to establish and build customer relations (it also means, ideally, there should be 2 years of historical data in respect of H&S / training / LOLER etc.)

 

Obvioulsy the nominated manager, i.e. yourself, is a key player, and indeed the 'responsible person' for ensuring standards are upheld at all times, and this is why we request a min. 5 years expereince.

 

Hope this clarifies things, post back if not, no worries.

 

Cheers..

Paul

Hi Stuart,

 

Yes there is, but it won't happen until May 2012, with the FoC workshop in April, as SW Region is 'AREA 9' and we're only on AREA 3 at the moment.

 

Cheers..

Ok, thanks. We should have everything set in place to go for it then, the business will of been running for 2 years come April 2012. Already doing work for local and parish councils as well as having 2 staff working almost permanently with highways, just need to tighten up on a few aspects, then ready to take on the 'local' big boys
