Groundsman looking for work - Isle of Wight, U.K.

[Slicx]

Hi,

 

I am looking for work as a groudsman in my home area of the Isle of Wight, U.K.

 

I am a student studying for a Foundation Degree (FdSc) in Arboriculture at Sparsholt College in Hampshire, and am out in a year's work placement to gain industry experience.

 

I am very willing and eager to work under an arborist to gain valuable experience.

 

I hold CS30 and CS38 currently, and own my own PPE, although not a harness.

 

I do not currently have my own transport, though am working towards it, though until then I am very willing to make full use of buses. I am located in Newport, so if convenient, I can be picked up if you're traveling through anyway, and will go to the most convenient place for you.

 

What with the poor economic climate, I am willing to work for a little less than standard groundsman rates, as gaining experience is both mine and the College's top priority.

 

I am happy in either an employed or self-employed role, and would really appreciate any work you may be able to offer.

 

Please contact me if you have any work or advice.

 

Thanks for reading.

you're probably better off calling up all the companies on the IOW (got to be no more than two surely??)

A little more than 2, yeah

 

I am going to phone around, though posting here surely can't hurt.

maybe he means we're the only two lol

I've a mate over in Ryde who does a fair bit of treework... I've given him a call and left a message... if he calls me back and says he's interested then I'll pass on his number.

 

Also I'm over in Lymington and if you could get to Yarmouth and the ferry I could pick you up from there... but don't know how practical/economical that would be for you.

Thanks a lot for your help Rob, I really appreciate it. I sent you a PM earlier today with a few questions about the work you have.

 

Regards,
