moving to norfolk, is there any tree work

[CJM]

The way I see it is if theirs lots of lads doing tree work the area must have a enough tree work to make it a viable business for them

It is a good county. But as, what seems, the retirement capital of the UK watch out for THOSE OAP's on the road. I had 3 turn out in front of me today, 3 x sets of black tracks down the road! No I wasn't going fast, max speed was as always 40Mph (usually due to some Micra type car up front). I'm certainly not ageist but some of the residents here really should hang up their driving gloves!

 

There is plenty of tree work about but it does not command the money you enjoyed in Slurry. The local college pushes out dozens of new recruits each year, so competition is fierce. It really depends on which area of the county/city you intend to move to.

 

Hi Stumpy,good to catch up with you yesterday,Tim.

This depends on the lads idea of what a viable business is,and what he needs to earn to survive,markets do have a saturation point ,the grass is not always greener.

Don't want to put a downer on your plans, but... we are pretty saturated with tree boys up here.

All the best.

P.s. cracking county to live in!

 

If they ever do a survey on numbers of Arb contractors per county I reckon Essex is top of the league for saturation.

Devon would give it fair run for it's money I reckon.

Can't believe how many I see when I'm working down there.

I just moved from Norfolk to Birmingham. There's a lot more work around this way then there is back there. Living costs aren't as much though, so I guess it kind of equals out. You'll be working for bugger all though unless you're top notch and self employed.
