  1. Its something clients are asking for now . To be fair most other qualifications such as machinery operations ect require refresher or resits . With my assessors head on and not contractors I might run some refresher courses on the Devon Somerset border this summer if there is enough interest . I've just got to get some spiking poles set up and I'm good to go .
  2. Gristwood are really near there they take it
  3. If people don't like the wages learn to type and leave the industry . All this talk of everyone else getting all this money is as bad as farmers . I've lads on decent money leave because they can get double elsewhere just to bounce around from job to job for years after . Usually the ones with this talk aren't even a week in hand with payments and hassling for payment within minutes of finishing the job . If I could lay bricks maybe I would but I know it wouldn't be straight and I would want to live in a house I'd built as I've not the eye for it . I've enjoyed tree work and couldn't imagine doing anything else . As for a short career as a subbie climber I agree but it longer than it was . A lot of the big stuff is done mechanically and lifting equipment with avant and diggers makes bigger work just fun now.
  4. Exactly the sort of money my subbies are getting , I supply the saws and fuel as I'm bored of lads turning up with broken saws so I think they are doing pretty well . On this there are those that completely take the piss for this type of return also .
  5. As per the title can anyone reccomend a grapplesaw operator in the Bolton area . That is all thank you
  6. I still have a complete one with a damaged winch which could be repaired with the right pair of hands . Strictly collection only though . Devon?Somerset border
  7. Housing for youngsters is terrifying , the rental market round here is probably the same as the rest of the country . Its never been so easy being in arb and living in the countryside finding accommodation. New builds are awful and a single person is pretty much priced out of the market . I've done some domestic works at estate type properties and they have empty cottages which I just don't understand .
  8. I am looking for staff for a couple of roles as usual Commercial climbing arborist with the usual quals and ground staff/landscape operatives to assist with the tree teams and undertake fencing ground based de veg works and landscaping .Machine certs would be helpful . PAYE or regular part time self employed . Call 07855 316780
  9. The annoying thing I questioned their ability to pay when the spec on the job changed I had promises it was all good , my advise when working for a recently formed company get a written directors guarantee. It will be interesting to see what the debts are as they were only trading a few years ,my accountant has said 60 k to hmrc which must mean they made alot surely .
  10. The company directors involved are now both working for a company owned by their wives and all absolutely legal .
  11. The company in question here have now gone into voluntary liquidation . It seems to me things are set up to help people in debt and of course wriggle out of it than those poor folks who have grafted for the money .
  12. Ground based staff required , de veg - fencing - machinery operations . Give me a bell to discuss 078550316780
  13. Climbers required for ongoing works . This is mainly commercial work with no rail , utility or highways . This may suit a utility cutter who's had enough of lines. PAYE or subbie - Call 07855 316780 to discuss
