  1. They encoraged me to go on my own. We now refer each other work and use each other on a subby basis. I can now dictate how much a day i am prepared to pay them

  2. Hi John, thanks for the positive message regarding my interest in a career in Arb. Did you follow a similar route in that I am proposing, and if so how did the guys you learnt with react when you set up on your own?

     

    Cheers

  3. I appreciate the advice about getting into arb, I'll try some of the things mentioned and see how I go. As for being a paramedic, ask most people who've been doing the job full time for a while (particulary in London) whether they enjoy it and I think you'd be surprised. Poor pay, unsociable hours, stress, regular physical and verbal assault and often highly unpleasant working conditions. Add to that NHS politics. It's very rare we actually "save a life", it's nothing like "Casualty" believe me. Rather than carrying on and wondering "what if", I think it's time to explore the possibility of doing something different. If it doesn't work out at least I know I've tried. Cheers
  4. Thanks for all the advice, I'll try and get some more info about my local firms.
  5. Hi all, I'm currently working as a paramedic based in Northampton but have been considering a move into arboriculture. Does anyone know of any good firms in the area that I could get some initial experience with? Due to my shift pattern I get a fair bit of time off. I've seen the relevant courses advertised at Moulton College but I'm reluctant to jump straight onto one without properly letting myself see what it's all about. My plan is to hopefully gain some valuable experience, with a long term goal of running my own business. I really am starting from scratch, so any advice would be greatly appreciated Cheers
