<p>hello Stevie, we met at Jonesies arbshow a couple of years ago mate. I've had a Scots lad working for me as a driver/groundie for the last year. He's a great lad and will be moving back up to Scotland next month. If your looking for another pair of hands on your crew, I can't recommend him enough. He's got his CS30,31,38, BWC and stumpgrinder tickets. He's moving up to your neck of the woods. Give me a shout if you want his number or I can pass on yours. </p>

<p>Cheers Fella!,</p>

Hello mate,

There is actually a lot of work about in Essex at the mo, problem is, nobody is willing to new staff/equipment/vehicles at the moment due to the worries of the current economic climate!. Try Tree fella, Essex Arb, TH trees.

I work as a freelance climber in Essex (I live in Southend). If I hear of any openings I'll give you a shout).

In the meantime, go for your CS31 and any other tickets you can

Good luck"

hello mate, try Eastwood trees, Coddenham, near Needham Market...very good firm to work for 01449 760780. Good luck!

what are you thinking of buying Tel?

alright Al, I was working for Brian Woods ( W. Woods and sons). He asked me not to mention his firm on here as he now has nice shiney NEW chainsaws and is worried about a return visit!

Hello mate,

I run training courses down at Hockley. I can do a CS30 for you for £200-00, this includes your assessment and registration Etc, 2 day course. I would strongly recommend dealing directly with a trainer rather than go through a college from a financial point of view!

Cheers,

Dunno where we going yet mate, prob down the Bull then hobble around a few others, I'll try and get Sideshow Bob out for a few beers too!. Its the Southend PRA doing the walk, we've got about 20 blokes from all over going tho. I'll give Bob a ring before we get to Colly.

Thanks for the support mate!

We're thinking of doing the old SAS 'long drag' selection route next year for the Afghan trust (not in the timings tho, ahem!).

cheers Mick, appreciate the support mukka!

its a right pain in the butt mate, but I have to say its very rewarding getting a bunch of lads thru their assessments. Also, for me, its a way of staying in the tree-game, I'm 45 and still climbing 5 to 6 days a week - it ain't gonna last forever!. Keep at it mate!

Hello mate,

Its a bit of an uphill struggle, this training/assessing lark!. The best thing would be to find an assessor who's willing to have you 'shadow' him on a few courses. I did it and it basically means giving a hand on a few courses - unpaid in my case. I learnt loads and got a few assessments out of it!. Get in touch with LANTRA and see if they can steer you in the right direction mate

Cheers
