No, never at Liverpool, me but we still run arb out of the Liverpool office. I was in London & the SE for 7 years and then moved down to the SW 5 years. T

Hi All, I'm a Regional Director for Glendale. We have set payscales for staff across the Country. In general Lead Climbers earn up to £22,500 p.a, Chargehands up to £19,000 p.a. and Skilled Arborists £17,300. Higher in London & SE Managers have flexibilty to grade staff based on qualifications, experiences etc and apply the appropriate rate. All staff have 10 days full and 10 days 1/2 sick pay p.a, pension, 20 days holiday rising to 22 after 5 years. Can't speak for other regions but in the Southwest we spent £24k on Arb training in the last 12 months. PPE should be provided by the employer and is by Glendale, as is saws and all kit. All but two of our Arb offices hold AAAC status and the remaining 2 should be over the next 6 months. Whilst I like the benefits offered by Glendale through offering a whole package my view is that most arb staff would sooner have more money in their pockets and worry about sick pay and pension etc when it happens. We're stable with longterm contracts so it depends on your priorities are really. Regards Terry

We're looking for a Supervisor for our Newbury Office. Closing date 24th Aug 2012 Glendale: Working Supervisor, advertised with CJS.

Hi Digger, We'd planned to take on a couple of apprentices towards the end of the summer, but could start one sooner. We cover most of the utility work in Cornwall so if he wants to stay at his current college, to finish what he's started it might be ideal. If he wants to e-mail me with a CV I'll drop it onto the right desk. We have depots at Helston, Truro & Launceston. [email protected] Regards Terry Doyle Regional Director Glendale Countryside Ltd

Thanks for the comment. The responsibilities are no greater than you would expect from any member of staff i.e. turn up for work ontime, do a good job safely and be polite to clients, coupled with practical knowledge of the sector. The role is running a team of 2 staff. More than happy to negotiate with the right candidate.

Hi, The Manager is Barry Bolton. Call 01257 460 461 as he is based at the Duxbury Offices. I think that the teams work out of Anfield Regards Terry

Thanks for the heads up Jamie, Our local Manager went to see the items but Newbury Police Station wouldn't even let him in. As all identification marks had been removed we couldn't prove any were ours. The photos certainly looked like the kit taken before Christmas. They recommend that we use infrared marking in the future as these cannot be easily seen or removed by the thieves. Thanks again Terry

Glendale is proud to announce that it is this year’s winner of the BALI Employer of the Year Award. The BALI Awards recognize BALI members who have demonstrated exceptionally high standards of professionalism and skill in a wide range of categories, as part of the landscaping industry. The awards were set up in 1976 and are respected in the UK and abroad as the standard to which others aspire. Glendale won the award for demonstrating good employer and management best practice through a number of HR and training-focused policies and activities. The award recognises Glendale’s “exemplary commitment to training development and personal fulfilment of employees and the creation of a working environment that consistently produces business and landscaping excellence”. Amongst the work recognised was Glendale’s involvement in apprenticeship programmes and employment initiatives through Future Jobs Fund and Education Business Partnerships. Of particular note to the judges were ‘Training Champions’ who work within regions to identify staff needs and work closely with local training providers as well as the internal training programme available for managers in key disciplines. BALI commended Glendale’s communication functions, including the monthly newsletters, employee forums and an extensive employee survey. Success is celebrated effectively through a range of internal awards where 80 employees were presented with NVQ qualifications. Glendale was praised for its outreach work with community groups and charities, such as Perennial, which enhances the company’s commitment and care to beyond their own staff. Tony Hewitt, Managing Director of Glendale Managed Services said " We are so proud and delighted to have been chosen as the employer of the year by BALI . Glendale has always endeavoured to ensure that it has a highly trained and well motivated workforce, serving the requirements of its many and varied clients and customers. "
