I am looking for an arb student who is looking for part time work in logging and felling in west somerset area.
-
Thanks everone for advice, think my options are arb student (part time) polish workers, or skilled labour.
-
i think it's good that the bbc think anyone can go in the local woods and start removing trees for fire wood, i think the nt and fc would have somthing to say on the matter. And i would be annoyed if people started turing up at my woodland and helping them self.
-
somerset is sw uk. I couldn't supply boots to every one who i offered a job to as i would be broke after a few weeks, if i had a long running lad who was interested in persuing career with company then i would buy all kit.
-
I havent employed anyone over 20 at the moment, maybe thats the problem and i'm talking totaly unskilled (no ntcp) just stacking and moving and general clearence.
-
good advice i'll put that when advertising next, hopefully better response. when it gets to the point of labor earning more than me per job it will be time to hand up the chainsaws.
-
interesting advice, worth a try.
-
i know what you mean and no i wouldn't work for that but I dont like paying to much for new staff as if it doesn't work out i end up losing to much, but if the right guys come on i would do all i can to keep them, and generaly we start at 9 and are finished by 3.
-
adverts good idea and not in your face, handy as am looking for a new pair of spikes.
-
£120per day is metal. farting higher than their arses i think. It seems that nobody can rubbish the work of foreign workers though which kinda fills me with shame at the british work ethic (present company excluded).
-
come to think of it i havn't seen any bins in years, i had to pay £6 per 25kg today for salt.
-
I pay £5ph but pay bonus if hard working, i allow £50 pppd. I suply all equipment including helment and hi vis just require steel toe boots (and packed lunch), if used own kit may pay more.
-
yes i have had a few numties and as for being on the phone nuf said. thanks alasdair for offer. I have a polish lad coming on next month for a trail, just language may be a problem and public image, people assume you pay penuts to foreign labor, but he'll get the same as everyone else, a shame the local lads arn't interested. i'll get there though and have a good base of skilled workers so just working on rest.
-
I'm based in Somerset, the problem i have is soon as i tell them it's manual labor they dont turn up. I'm glad i'm not the only one having problems staffing. I will put up an add, i think an arb stundent will be benificial.
-
but thanks, i'll keep in mind next time.
-
I'm looking more for simple groundworkers to work alongside trained, just a logging job doen't nees skill.
-
Just thought i'd start a thread to see if anyone is having problems employing people at the moment. I thought everyone needed work at the moment but am stugling to find any ground workers. Thoughts welcome.
-
Hi everyone, Insurance is getting me down so need some help. I can't seem to find the right 'profession' so can anyone help me in a quote for forestry and arboriculture, i need pl, pi & el. Thanks
-
Damn thing didn't turn up today but will post pics as soon as i get it out the box.
-
My hilux, sorry but all standard. Still good working vehicle though.
-
Thanks guys for help, picking up tomorrow just hope not to bad on fuel but feeling confident that I have got the right one.
-
oh and any thing else i need to know about the 880? I want bad points too.
-
thanks, what was the 046 power wise, i have no idea had it so long now.
-
I just took it to be serviced and a spring needed replacing, poor old thing is not long for this world so anything under 12kg would be lovely cant wait. what was the cc and power of the 88 as felt sily to ask dealer.
-
Thanks guys, i did think about ms660 as it seem so light sompared to what i'm running but told couldn't change order as stilh had already posted it so will have to do.
