1. Register as self employed- you can do this in addition to your factory job no problem.

2. Visit every company in the area, telling them you are are self-employed, qualified, can drive- and will work weekends for £20 and a sandwich to gain experience.

3. Gain that experience every weekend for a few months. More importantly, gain contacts.

4. When you are sufficiently in demand at a high enough rate for enough days (incrementally increase your day rate as you learn) then quit your factory job and take it from there.

 

Worked for me.

Offer to work for what the employer thinks your worth for a few days. If you're a lazy toad, the employer won't pay you, but if you work hard and impress, a decent boss should pay you a fair amount. This way it's limited risk for a potential employer, and you may get a foot in the door!

Hi Jack,

 

Give Robert Kennedy a call at Midland Tree Surgeons, based near burton on Trent - he maybe able to help. Good company to work for, been around a very long time and he used to be chairman of the Arboricultural Association.
