  2. We are looking for new members of staff with experience to join us we operate in Kent and South East London we are based near Brands Hatch race track. Looking for an experienced climber who may be looking for a new venture as part of a small team which is looking to expend with more reasonably then you may have at the moment, or an older climber looking for a different environment, we would like to see the applicant has a background in domestic & commercial works but not based on railway or power line clearance type works. We would like someone with a minimum of five years experience and all tickets for climbing Arial rescue, rigging, chipper and stump grinder etc a full clean driving license with C1+E or HGV an advantage as we do have 6.2 ton trucks as well as 3.5. The applicant should have a passion for Arb and would like to help up and coming climbers expand the skill level, needs to understand the loler regulations and able to run and oversee this side of things. Second person needs to be someone with a minimum of two to three years experience and is on the way up with their climbing abilities who can take on small to medium size trees to a high standard or an older person looking to reduce the amount of larger climbing works. Applicants will need a working understanding of the loler regulations and understand Cosh regulations and run this side of things. Works will include reduction to a high standard, dismantling in open and tight enclosed sites, hedge trimming stump grinding etc. As a company we pride our self in operating with a very high standard from the first phone call to the complication of the work we believe that we are all as important as each other and all cogs in a wheel to provide the quality service we do. A lot of our works are carried out for regular clients built up over the past 32 years and with very nice gardens so we want people who will be mindful of their surroundings and expect a high level of service. Applicant must have a gentle and polite approach to our clients as a large section of them are older. All tickets required and a clean driving license required with the ability to drive 3.5 ton and chipper up to 750kg.

We want people who are able to work together in a small but well established company with a very good reputation in the industry. Both new team members must be up to speed with British standards, tree law health and safety and current regs and if possible have an Arb qualification. We operate a cloud based quoting system and I would expect a good level if understanding with phone and table technology. We are a non smoking company within the working day and have a policy regarding mobile phone use on site we would like somebody who takes a pride in themselves there work and there tools and equipment supplied by the company as company image is very important to us and has stood us in good stead over the years.

  9. I have not worked but been over to the area a couple of times and had the pleasure of spending time with a few companies for a day or two helping out. Bartlett have a number of depots in the area which you can find online. When we were with them the work seemed to be high end and if you are interested in plant health care as we were then well worth a think. Sacramento is further north and inland but is lovely and is called the city of trees lots of older properties and older tree stock, I may be able to dig out some contact details for you if required. There was a guy from Newcastle who has a company south of san fran but may be the wrong area for you. Good luck go for it.
  10. Hi as a new boy (your words) the question is where you work and do you have a chipper at the moment. My company works mainly south London, Kent, Surrey with a massive range of clients, for us a four wheel drive which we have which is Jap by the way is not used that much. As we do not do a lot of off road stuff but is handy every now and then. If you are in areas like Scotland, Wales etc then four well drive all the way. So I think you have to know your market place and it must fit to what you have and what you aim to buy in the future. If your loaded debris then a good 35cwt tipper lwb flat bed tipper with crew cab for you tools would be perfect which you could then have high sides and a roof later on if you buy a chipper. Never been a fan of Landrover's had them in the past and never got on with them. Ps: I will have for sale a 35cwt standard build arb truck with tool box and chip box. Flat roof with ladder rack, beckons ect. Nice little start off truck pm me if you want info and photos.

    <p>Hi Wattie</p>

    <p> </p>

    <p>I seen one of your posts about the bandit wood chipper and you were pretty much the only one that could give a decent statement about them, however im in the same boat and not sure what to buy I have used schiesling and find they are way over priced and I like the bandits but not if they clog up with conifer (evergreens) global have 150LD 's and I know where there is a 90 xp but really I haven't worked either but can they be that bad on conifer or what do you think </p>

    <p> </p>

    <p>thanks</p>

    Arblogic

    Hi Guys Not been on for a while but was wondering if anyone is using the Arblogic program for quotes etc. I down loaded the free trail to have a look as I have been looking for a good program for sometime but it just does not do what I had expected. This is a £600 program which is a lump of money which I wont be buying. My question is who is running it as I have sent various requests for Tech help and had no reply's. Also tell me if your using it and what you think please. Thanks Wattie

    I pad

    Thanks I can see how I may be able to do that I have pages already which I can do a site plan and would be go for hazard notes, extra tools and risk assessment, however lads are telling not to worry about the RA for every job I look at just leave it to them to do on the day on the jobs I do win if you get my drift on that. Thanks Keven
