Agrimog you are mistaken if you think assessors are not actively employed in timber cutting or arb work , assessing is by no means full time work and what do you think these people do when not , polishing their chainsaws. Yorkshireman what a cracking idea , could be like food standards guys , checks made and if things need working on perhaps a revisit -
Dont get me wrong I have in the past dropped my price a little to match a quote that is the benefit of being the last there but for 5% difference surely most customers will go with who they liked better.

This has come up a few times recently by two different companies locally , both are quite aggressive with advertising . I was wondering what people have to say about this ,are these people desperate for work ect or what happens if they go against each other does the client get the work for free.

gear on finance.. has it helped you??
steve@black replied to Boy English's topic in Business Management
I dont want to derail a thread but it is interesting the way we accept finance and overdrafts ect as a way to ultimately earn more money , so someone should tell the students to stop whining because there loan in no different as a way to a means to earn more money. (thanks rant over) -
Next couple of days will lead to more work. Pm Me

One of them things , if he broke it being an idiot then hem might feel he should pay a bit towards repair or replacement , if not wear and tear , things sometimes break its part of work , they dont break sat in the shed so accept it.

Due to increase in workload I am looking for various freelance staff from climbers who are capable of quality reductions and experienced with rigging also 2nd climbers who are perhaps starting out looking to improve. Am based between Tiverton and Wellington. anyone interested pm me please

The situation has now been resolved , he has apaarently agreed with the customer he will not do any tree work and will in future discuss any situation of this kind that may arise at a bit more length with me . It does appear that every trades men that turns up at this property from the carpet fitter to builder has a brother that can do tree work but she is happy for me to continue with the tree work and other deveg works. As for the drive the topic of the customer in question came up on the way so seemed perfect timing . Also thanks to you all for putting my mind at rest .
-
Am liking the response thanks people, was really disapointed when I found out and this guy does what is asked works long hours at times and hard and paid well for this help. We have a over hundred mile journey in the morning a perfect time for a chat.
-
Jamie I think you have hit the nail on the head . It is not the sort of work I do but had discussed with this guy I could possibly send an apprentice up to split logs on days when I am doing other things. Certainly has changed the dynamic at work now.
-
Self employed and no log splitting is not the sort of work I have time to do , but as a buisness might be something I could do is provide this service.What my major concern is if he is there with a saw and the customer asks for other work to be done where does this end .Also the lack of comunication regarding this.
-
Situation is a guy works for me aprox 3 days a week has got rather cosy with on of my regular customers ( large property owner) and it turns out he has been there splitting logs for them . I have even mentioned to him I had not heard from them in a while and he says nothing .
-
As per title does anyone here have to sign one or is it standard practise among others to not pass on company imformation or work for customers they have met whilst working for you . (Had a bit of an issue ) comments please

Deffo more than £20 per hour , strimmers/clearing saws work hard and even new kit breaks down . Have heared the same about the fc and low rates and great expectations.

You would get a new pair or a different style if you talk to Arbortec. That is true they did for me
-
All this talk of the industry being saturated surprises me , yes there is too many doing it for naff all but when I post ads on here I seldom get a response other than inexperienced lads looking for 150 a day. I know of one local guy been operating for years mentioned he might not bother to advertise tree surgery anymore for the lack of climbers available.

It's hard and you are expected to work wonders when subbing to landscape / poor tree firms who know very little on tree work and how it's actually done , Tim that is one of the best pionts I have heard in ages
