  7. We've got a landy 14.5 & and an iveco daily 14.5 too.
  8. we added a mewp to our fleet , it does go out to other but only select ones, really no ones size or type fits all scenarios but are defo a good option, now looking to add another although different from our 4x4 14m Ipaf isn't the check it is LOLER through inspection by competent person every 6 months expect £45 -£70 a pop
  9. to get in , you'll likely need cs 30 crosscut & maintenanceso you can cut downed bits for the chipper ? , with 31 as an option cs 30 allows to polechainsaw , handy for work at height avoidance cs31 leads on to felling upto 380mm allows to cs32 over 380mm cs31 leads to cs39 + need cs38 cs 38 aerial rescue & tree climbing ,act as rescue climber , allows to cs39 use of saw a chipper ticket is handy as almost all Arb firms have them so 30, 31, 38 & chipper are a good start then build as you see, all depends on the need of the firm your looking to work with, the more quals you got the more they can reasonably ask you to do , gives them more reason to say yes
  10. 30 isnt old , I was around that age when I set up Oakdale, tickets are a gateway, ability & willingness to achieve that cant be taught , Ex Forces, do have a good mind set , but then I would say that , did that myself for a while. tickets, & trailer towing licence over 750kg as far as NPTc 30/31 saw maintenance & tree felling to 380mm 38 aerial rescue & tree climbing & 39 using a saw for free fall basic cuts .pole chainsaw , woodchipper & stump grinder are key skills then add stuff like 32 larger trees, work toward pruning 7 dismantling tickets, though the later is as much about time in the tree & confidence , dont rush to do too much too quick .. get 6 months a year in at least watch & learn, training cant replicate what the real world of ARB teaches you ..

  12. there's much to selling , people buy from businesses , people like to buy from people especially if they are seen as credible, check out how others do it research those methods and adapt for your own business goals ., Iain
  13. Work ethic is the start of everything, for success at work. some underlying issues , NOS, lantra ,nptc HSe FIsa, confor ,FC, AA, Isa, large business all have input, too many cooks springs to mind... currently students are taught to work as individuals , but all ARb work is teamwork. colleges who propagate their own instructors run the risk of repeating the same mistakes, pathways to learning and reading materials and method & processes change in industry way faster than ,education centres can usually absorb into formal framework qualifications.. I've known of colleges accepting students who on application didn't meet the minimum requirement of entry , counter intuitive, if they've got a standard then stick too it as if not then its a slippery slope of below par is good enough, WELL ITS NOT in retail terms if you stack em high enough and sell em cheap enough your on a winner, commercial experience can only really come from either doing the job with experienced operators in a team or having an experienced operator teaching the student what the day to day requirements are & these requirement darent covered in most cases, this doesn't mean someone instructing who was in industry 210 years ago. or done 2 years at college without real world experinece as really courses are entry level , in my military days , I did training, then went to my unit, & they said to forget the training its out of date , heres what we do sunshine now crack on !! So is the model of understanding the need in industry, not the heart of issue for colleges.. as to placements ,, businesses do take punts on new employees and with that there is a risk in production dips, BUT we all started somewhere, & most folks are wise enough to take a balanced view, if college struggle to place candidates then out of Funding why not incentivise businesses, they need to make money as do colleges.
  14. just bought mine ... cant quite believe this has being going so long,,, doesn't seems so.. A great cause.. kids helped when they need it , brilliant

  17. & so the word spreads.................... lol amazing how some times we can't see the wood for the trees business development with acknowledgment for professional, with the help to assist them to be better at evidencing their commitment to their business & customers. Iain
  18. As prompted by PAUL For all Those , It was MY suggestion to Paul , re this model for affiliate contractor seeking progression & recognition. so please don't blame anyone else if it goes tits up. YEP ITS ME you can shout at I remember how hard it was when I set up in business all those years ago, to get recognition to show our commitment to doing a good job for our clients to see.. I with others nearly ,very nearly set up a scheme , But the AA have rightly Imo taken this forward & I applaud them for it , some might not . best regards to All Arb's out there, who do a great job in difficult circumstances especially where competing with the rogue element, in what can be a cash is king market place.
