  1. Just applied for this!
  2. Now that I LOVE! Keep the thread updated mate, I'll be keen to watch it come along...
  3. I saw that but had work sorted for today, was a shame otherwise I'd have been more than happy to work with you... I think it's always beneficial to meet new people, especially ones in the same game as you If you ever need somebody again though, I'll be there, I don't mind travelling a bit either... Yeah I think I was lucky to have got in with both of them. Both companies do a great job and I've learnt alot with them, even in the relatively small space of time...
  4. I'm back again! Managed to bag myself fulltime work with Chris at Greenacre for a few months, learned a great deal! He's a good bloke and I was able to be part of a big variety of tree work there from big take downs with mewps to hedge jobs... He's downsizing so I've been doing the odd day with him as well as doing some work with Marcus at MB Trees Just trying to fill in my off days somewhere else, literally after anything! Anybody ever need a hand just grafting, groundwork or whatever, let me know... I can get references. Cheers, Leon.
  5. Atleast you know where it is Andy, most people don't! Cheers lads, I'll give Greenacre a call tomorrow.
  6. Shotley? In the middle of nowhere pretty much...
  7. I don't really have any photos apart from a couple poor quality ones unfortunately. I understand it's christmas time, hopefully I'll be able to find something in the new year...
  8. I searched tree surgeon on google maps and most of them but still haven't heard much back, do you think it's better to call them?
  9. There must be something about... I'm willing to travel a bit and even work some trial days. Help me out people
  10. There's a bloke out my way who does trailer lessons and Is supposed to be good Matt, I can get you the number if you want?
  11. Also hold 38 & 39 now
  12. Is this vacancy still open?
  13. The 10 weeker is subsidized by the government, hence the cheap price...
  14. That's me mate! Cheers, you too... I'm sure I'll see you tomorrow.
  15. Fairly new to the industry, just looking to get some work and get into it. I've got 2 and a half weeks left of my level 3 10 week course, so far I've got CS 30 & 31 but hopefully by the end of the course I will have passed 38 & 39, I've also got a clean driving license and a first aid certificate. I've worked outside since I was about 15 (now 20) and am a hard worker. I've also got experience in teleporters, dumpers, loading shovel and a small amount in a 360 although I don't hold tickets for them. Willing to travel and negotiate on wages as I'm new. Will send CV on request. Thanks.
  16. Thanks very much, I'll do that today!
  17. Okay that sounds fine for me, I'm living at home with parents so I can live on that to start with! I'm in Suffolk if that makes a difference? What's the best way to get work, just send emails out to companies ring them up etc?
  18. I've got a bloke I can get some experience with, felling some pines on his land for free. How much would you say is a reasonable day rate to charge for somebody with not a great deal of experience, and with 30, 31, 38 and 39?
  19. That to me sounds like sound advice, thanks for that mate.
  20. I've done a bit of tree work but only dragging brash, helping lower branches etc. I am a hard worker and have been labouring since I left school so I'm hoping people will realise that if they give me a chance. I'm thinking I need to buy a ground saw, fuel can, oil, maintenance tools, silky, climbing kit and a top handled saw?
  21. Just after some help regarding becoming a subby. I finish my course in 3 weeks, I've got 30 and 31 but hopefully will have 38 and 39 by the end! I've got my own ppe but what else would I need to start off with?
  22. Bumping back an old thread, hope that's okay? I've just started working out from today, I've always been strong for my size as I've been labouring etc since I was about 15, I'm now 20 and want to gain size! My mate's got a multi gym that I'm going to use, maybe pressups etc as well? I'm taking one my protein total gainer in the morning and another in the evening. Have you any tips for me?
  23. I'd be aiming to get that mile and a half run time to around the 10 minute mark! I ran it in 10 minutes when I done my selection at Pirbright and I wasn't THAT fit, I mean I wasn't no where near the back of the pack but there was lads miles ahead of me... Try some longer runs say 3 miles every other day and test your mile and a half once a fourtnight and watch it improve
  24. Looking good mate, haven't been out for a while but am hoping to get out alot this Winter! Butch
  25. Happened down my way, bloke tried stealing from a powerstation and got killed..
