    For the time it takes, I am a great believer of 'if there is a way of making life slightly more enjoyable or making a task a little easier then embrace it', it's like an arbor trolley, I could just keep dragging brash and carrying the timber but I have now found a way to ease things which again I am a strong believer of Arboricultural Association Approved Contractor

    I am going through this at the moment, my new apprentice starts tomorrow morning. 30 hours a week and 1 day at Kirkley Hall college on the level 2. Wages are actually £2.68, low enough so you dont pay tax. Our new apprentice Connor with our help will pass the level 2 in a year and a day, then onto the level 3 for 18 months. If I had another seat in the van id be having two!
