I took our kids to London for 2 days last week, we went on an open top bus tour, and they told us that apparently, in the houses of parliament there are 3 bars, all beer is tax free and costs about £1.30 a pint!!!

We have a team leader position, please get in touch if you are interested. Tel: 08003287988 Email: [email protected]

We have a card machine in the office and don't charge for debit cards but put 2.5% on for credit card payments. We found it won us the odd job for people that preferred to pay by credit cards. The BACS method is preferable and cost free - more people are using online or apps to bank nowadays so its becoming a lot simpler.

Depending on the space you require, and what you need to store in it - is it just for chip/log or machinery too? You could try local farmers or speak to the local council to see if they have anything suitable. Be aware of any planning or environmental restrictions before committing though!

The consultation is just over half way through, it ends on 26 May so take a few minutes to give your feedback - its to benefit our industry!

There is a website called Treezilla: treezilla which is interesting to take a look at - but probably not exactly what you are looking for.

The consultation is now live! http://lantra.co.uk/careers/get-started/trailblazers/arboriculture,-forestry-and-amenity-horticulture Your input is needed The consultation on all the standards will run from May 5–26 and all employers are urged to read the draft standards before filling in a short survey on the roles applicable to them.

New Apprenticeships put Employers at the Forefront of Shaping the Future Workforce The forestry, arboriculture, horticulture and landscape industries are set to benefit from new apprenticeships designed to supply companies with new high quality talent. The new pilot standards, known as trailblazers, have been developed as a result of a 2012 Government review which found that there were key areas of the apprenticeship programme where substantial improvements could be made. The Trailblazers Apprenticeship standards will ensure apprenticeships are more rigorous and responsive to the needs of employers, with the aim of producing a fresh supply of talented entrants to all major UK industries. Employers in forestry, arboriculture, horticulture and landscape are being urged to take part in a short consultation requesting their views on the proposed new apprenticeship standards. The consultation will run from 5-26 May 2015 (I will put up the link once it is live). The standards, which have been developed by various industry bodies led by Bartlett Tree Experts, outline key competencies, skills and knowledge required for apprentices. In addition to technical content, there will also be a focus on work ethic and requisite behaviours for each role. The employer-led apprenticeships will also serve to address recruitment issues which have often afflicted the sector, as apprenticeships will be available to both school leavers at the start of their careers and older people looking to change careers. Research by Populus, conducted for National Apprenticeship Week, shows that 80 per cent of employers questioned feel that apprenticeships reduce staff turnover. It is therefore imperative that employers in the forestry, arboriculture, horticulture and landscape industries are able to express their views on the Trailblazers Apprenticeship standards to ensure they are fit for purpose and result in a highly motivated, highly competent workforce.
