Tree surgeon Adam Baldock killed in chainsaw accident | Mail Online Tree surgeon Adam Baldock killed in chainsaw accident | Mail Online Dear all, Firstly I would like to thank each and every one of you for your heart felt messages of condolences to us and to Adam’s family and friends. They have touched us all and the kindness that you all have shown has been over whelming. I would also like to thank Justin for organising the fund for Adam’s little girl; I know that we and Adam’s girlfriend and family were truly moved by this generous gift from such kind people. I would like to thank those people who did not pass judgement and speculate and showed support and compassion instead. I would like to echo what other people have said about not believing everything you read in the papers. The media twisted this sad story and portrayed a picture of bad practise, they did not have the correct facts and this resulted in a lot of upset for Adams family and us. I would like to point out that we are one of the oldest companies in England and we pride our selves on the high standard of work we carry out and all our Health and Safety practises. My two men on site with Adam on that tragic day where truly courageous and showed such bravery in what they did and they need to be recognised for this. My men were highly praised from the emergency services for the care they gave and they were described as ‘Faultless’. We do not wish to name the tree surgery company who also came to the scene but I would like to say that we regard you as family and without your support we would not be able to get through this difficult time. The loss of Adam has been devastating for us, he was a beautiful young man who’s dream was to always be a tree surgeon, his pride and joy was his little girl and girlfriend who he always spoke about with such joy. We have lost not a colleague but friend. He will forever be sorely missed and remembered and we will never get over loosing him. Our hearts will always go out to Adams family, his little girl, girlfriend and friends. Thank you once again and stay safe to all. With much admiration, Ken and Tori. Thanks for the donations so far, keep them coming guys and girls, even had money sent in from abroad.

Ken and Tori, Thank you so much for comin on here and posting. sincerest sympathies to his family, friends and colleagues.

Decent day today, nice little private job, nothing to serious, reduce a small eucalyptus, an ash, remove this limb here, remove that branch on that and so on, and lots of other little bits that took up the day, nothing went wrong and nothing broke oh and a tenner tip each come 3pm. all have a good day ready for the weekend?

how about we make it 3 rottweilers just to be sure

how about getting a rottweiler??

nothing employment wise.. was at least 70years old.. so how he will do those finishing cuts on his own is beyound us!

very true mate... agree the customer '' is always right'' but you really has to be their to hear, see and believe it...

me and my work mate today were sent to raise an oak on a private job. nothing different about it what soever, customer showed and explained what we wanted etc... so far so good... but then to me and my mates amazement, the customer said dont do the finishing cut because the chainsaw will '' tear '' the bark and the tree will not heal over, so the customer then said, leave approx 1 foot foot pegs, and he will do the finishing cut with his hand saw???? is it just me or is that a little bit different? after all, me and my mate being tree surgeons, what do we know about finishing cuts!!! lol... but at least we got a cup of tea, 1 biscuit each and £2 tip each!!

my condolences go out to his family and friends.

didnt bother getting the wife anything, well so i thought.. until she found a christmas present i forgot to give her, so quickly twisted that round and said happy valentines day! result.. after all.. times are hard!!

To look at... Awesome 500 year old oak in a little village last year we got the pleasure of seeing, and it may even be older than that! to work on.. anything that doesnt produce thorns or spikes that do your head in for the rest of the day!

vintage isnt the word for that lol!

job very well done!.. makes me and my work mate laugh how our boss under quotes EVERY time on a conifer job, then moans it over runs... even though when we get to site we instantley have an idea how long it will take us, but what do we know. we are just workers i suppose!!

sorry to hear that mate! my boss left his 020 on site and didnt realise until i saw it under a hedge. amazed that was still their! lucky for him we went back next day to finish up. Doubt anything will come off your trailor this way in Norfolk, but il keep eyes and ears open just in case and spread the word.... any pics u could send through?
