  1. I believe thats more used in aerial rescue scenarios @MattyF if I recall right you just anchor off a maillion clipped to the ascender. Back up the ascender obviously.
  2. You will mainly get nothing but time waster on facebook but its free so may as well have a page, likewise with Twitter and Linkedin. Take a bit of your budget away from google ads and invest it into SEO for your website. It will pay dividends in the long run
  3. Hmmm thats interesting info. I was actually quite interested in the Raptor, despite it having a Ford badge on the front. This is a bit of a deal breaker though
  4. I looked into these, pretty sure that the new dolmar has the same cutting gear as the old robin, which is really what made them the hedgecutter they are. I still have a Robin, and now I have retired I hope it will last me for all the hedge cutting I am ever likely to do! Speak to @shavey
  5. Yep. Its all about having a good accountant, and one who knows limited companies
  6. Sounds like your feet are shrinking. I would defo go get checked out by the doctor as i'm pretty sure impotence follows immediately after.
  7. Its basically exactly the same as your ipad, but makes calls aswell
  8. My own bank wouldn't even give me a mortgage! Ironically my mortgage is with Natwest currently
  9. Yep...I don't know for sure though, but thats what my mortgage broker told me. I just took a mortgage out last year based on my sole trader accounts and expressed concern about when it comes time to remortgaging. He told me theres always a way, and theres lenders who specialise in limited company directors. As always, its a case of finding the right broker! If you get stuck when the time comes i'll be happy to give you my guys number.
  10. Sounds like the people you spoke to had crap accountants. I wouldn't let them put you off. Find yourself a decent accountant and get it done. You will save money. I felt physically sick for months when i went limited at the thought of how much tax I had been paying unecessarily previously. Can't do nothing about it though and I will never ever get that money back.
  11. I think some mortgage brokers take into account what you have in your company aside from what you have paid yourself
  12. Speaking for myself, going limited has saved me a fortune. If I had done it years ago I probably would have saved myself around 50k, but I had a crap accountant who kept putting me off the idea.
  13. Stick with me eggs, I’ll see ya right buh ?
  14. Fixed that for you

  21. The UK’s leading manufacturer of professional wood chippers, Timberwolf, has extended its unrivalled customer support with the introduction of an industry first, five-year manufacturer’s warranty. The option to increase the standard three year warranty up to a total of five years is available across the entire Timberwolf range, and can even be applied to older machines still within their original three year warranty period, offering complete peace of mind. Combined with the industry’s strongest support network - featuring 17 dealers and over 250 Timberwolf trained technicians operating from 38 depots across the country - this industry first warranty further strengthens Timberwolf’s unrivalled customer support offering. Guy Marshlain, Sales and Marketing Director at Timberwolf, said: “We work hard to build strong relationships with customers and dealers to ensure our products and services are at the forefront of our industry, offering power, strength and support no other manufacturer can. “After speaking with customers, we developed our new warranty option to provide complete peace of mind, extending our warranty cover for longer, so customers can focus on their businesses, safe in the knowledge they won’t be facing unexpected repair costs. Put simply, buying a Timberwolf provides much more than a machine.” Over the last 30 years, the Suffolk-based company has manufactured more than 13,500 machines, providing a wide range of industry-defining petrol and diesel wood chippers for those working in arboriculture. Customers have access to support founded on three decades of industry expertise and engineering excellence to combat all challenges faced by modern arborists. This marketing-leading support has seen Timberwolf receive high levels of positive customer feedback with 99% of customers, since August 2018, saying they would recommend Timberwolf to someone else. Timberwolf’s industry expertise and guidance can be best viewed through the launch of its ‘All the Facts, #NoOmissions’ campaign which brought clarity to new government engine emission legislation – known as ‘Stage V – in January this year. A number of ‘myths’ had become prevalent in the industry, with many incorrectly believing diesel powered wood chippers could no longer be used or purchased due to the new rules affecting non-road mobile machinery, including wood chippers. Timberwolf’s awareness campaign, educated and reassured the customers and the wider industry that pre-Stage V diesel wood chippers above 25HP could still be used and traded after the implementation of the new rules.
