    Well even if it for self satiffaction and sence of achievement for my self. It just frustrates me as im sure it does eveyone seing such sub standard work being done and peole accepting it.

    Granted there are still grey areas but on a whole it would sort the industry out

    Oh yes but, when i do commercial work i am not usually pricing against 3 or 4 other contractors for the work. my commercial clients use me without other quotes most of the time, they just ring and ask us to give a price then 99% of the time we get the go ahead on reputation and previous costings. obvoiusly when we tender for new work with new clients we have to be more leniant with costs until we are in the door.

    I am also a strong believer in, if every company had to be arb approved it would help raise the standards of tree work and help educate people in our industry dont you think?

    The commercial work that i do at he moment is far more profitable than domestic work. I can earn nearly double doing commercial work than domestic so its a no brainer, hense me going down to mog route to enable us to get on and off site in less time, most of the commercial work we do are set prices so if we can do the contract in less time with bigger machinery then more profit and thats what its all about.

    Thing is though, I do most of the office work that they require you do do anyway so my thoughts are why not? Its not that much money either and it will be another thing to set me aside from the competition up here. Yes we do good tree work, supply all relevant paperwork when required and have a good business with a fantastic domestic and commercial customer base which has been built up over the last 10 years. The main reason i am going down this rout is that i am wanting to break more into the commercial market as the domestic market is becoming so cut throught up here. Ill let you know how we get on with it. Thanks for all your comments

    Your help would be greatly appreciated As im going for Arb Approved I want to get everything in place 100% perfect before the assessment, there is a section in the notes regarding waste carriers license, my thoughts have always been that green waste is a get out clause from this license Is this correct??? Do you have one...

    I wasn't being negative, just commenting on the way the industry has gone over the last couple of years up here. But i suppose every industry is feeling it at the moment. Id hate to be just setting up now
