  2. Guys,

     

    Let me put another side to this story to you, Ross came to me looking for work and at the time i was looking to add to my ground staff so gave him a trial as a groundie. He did ok so gave him the opportunity to work as a groundie sub contractor whenever he required work as I do with various other sub contractors, The rate of pay we offer for a groundie with only Cs 30/31 is £80 which was his choice to accept which he did.

     

    Yes Ross has climbing ticket CS 38/39 but was not employed as a climber but what was put to him was that if you wanted some climbing experience, then when we could we would get you on the trees. Ross chose to use his own kit and equipment for when these opportunities come up.

     

    Insurance is provided for all employees and sub contractors that work under us, ross was advised by myself that if he was going to carry our tree work for himself then he would require liability insurance.

     

     

    I have been branded on here as a bad employer who is taking the piss, So let me put my side to you.

    I spent 22yrs in the military, when i got out i retrained into this industry and started a whole new chapter in my life I put out letter after letter to try and get work experience and tried to get employment. I got one chance from a guy on here who offered £60 per shift which i was grateful for but after time decided to start out on my own.

    I have now built a successful business and have employed many people and have worked for many large organisation, Andy Clark on here can vouch for this. I have always given people a chance no matter how little experience they have as how else will they get the experience.

    I give work experience to a local charity organisation that helps underprivileged kids, I give work experience through the council for school leavers.

     

    I put Sub contractors onto courses that helps both the company and the individual, IE woodchipper,trailer towing, EFA+f,cscs, dumper,digger ext.

     

    I offer sub contractors that have worked with us for a period of time the opportunity to go full time onto the books, some have accepted this but most guys want the freedom to pick and choose when and who they work for.

     

     

    So to finish up I hope maybe you see me in a different light, I am anything but a bad employer or a piss taker. So in future before you decide to destroy someones reputation, remember there are different sides to a story. There have been various members of my teams wanting to get on here and put there views across on the employer that We are which i hope they do.

  5. Guys,

     

    I have the use of a friends farm with an area to offload wood chip and logs and can also take the odd bag of rubbish into the bargain, Im looking at getting a few local guys to dump there for free, this area is not far from the area of GP Green so would save you the dump charges. if this is of any interest to any of you then PM me and we can have a chat.

     

    Thanks for reading

  6. Hi guys,

     

    I have some yew and a large monkey puzzle coming down and was wondering if anyone new of anywhere in the Glasgow area that could use it. Preferably we would like to try and sell it but if not then a good cause.

     

    Thanks in advance for any replys.

  7. Guys,

     

    Thanks for your feedback,I will give some of the companies a call and see if I can get a better rate.

     

    Slack: the chip is mixed as it is from our tree surgery

     

    Country boy: my chip is from a normal chipper, don't know if it makes a difference in the rate I'm just looking to offload the chip rather than pay tip charges at the green waste site.

     

    Karl: stobarts were only offering £5 per ton but I know another local guy who was getting £8 so I'm looking for the best deal for both me and the farmer.

     

    Again guys thanks for your input.

  8. Hi guys.

     

    I am looking to sell on my wood chip for biomass and was wondering who you use and what deal you are getting, I have moved on one load via stobarts but not a great price.

     

    I'm based in Glasgow so any local guys it would be great to hear from you.

     

    Cheers

  9. Hi guys

     

    I have a bit of work in the loch lomond area over the next few weeks and I'm looking for somewhere to get rid of wood chip and logs locally, we are working from on the Luss side of the loch.

    We have been in touch with Luss estates but they can't help us out this occasion so if anyone knows of anywhere then please let me know.

     

    Thanks

  10. Hi guys

     

    I have a job to price in east Kilbride that requires the stumps removed, my machine ain't big enough so I'm looking for a couple of quotes.

     

    There are between 60-80 stumps of varying sizes. I would require it looked at Monday Tuesday next week so as to put the quote together.

     

    Cheers
