    i paid 10 hrs wages today for 7 hrs earning work. i take the hit every time. a road was closed so had to take a detour on the way, had to wait about for going over stuff with the customer then wait for payment, look at a job on the way home. i dont get paid for that. if i dont do it then i done get any more work
  8. Stephen Blair

    you have no idea how nieve this sounds mate. once you start your own business thats it, you cant just say one day, i have had enough. there is consequences for your actions. andyou have bills to pay, i have went months with no wages, sleepless nights and stress. why? so i could pay others wages because it is a big responsibility holding someone finances in your hands. when the chipper breaks down wages need paid, when a car is left across a driveway and you cant work it costs you money, putting money in the bank cost you money, taking your money out of the bank costs you money. 120 quid a day, thats 600 quid a week, 30k a year. i would take that job tomorrow.

    you can buy as much kit as you want but the guy up the tree makes the company. i started myself because i was the one doing the hard bit and getting rubbish wages. But after doing this for 11 years myself there has been a few times i wished i worked for someone else

    i have lived and worked in my town all my life, for the last 11 years i have had sign written vehicles and owned a big mog with my name all over it. and i still meet folk that have never heard of me or seen me about and they have lived here all there lives. different peolpe notice different things. so it isnt easy getting your number across to folk. so usually word of mouth works best.

    the simple fact is cutting bits off of trees isnt exactly rocket science, a set of kahoonas can soon be grown with practice and experience and we arent monitored by the tree police. this doesnt make you an arborist and i am not saying everyone could carry out a lot of the work that some of you guys have posted on here, but the high percentage of joe public will give the guy who called back first the job. And if the place is left tidy and the customer is happy then way hay, you are a tree surgeon..
