  3. hi Guys, theyve been working well for me....i believe they used to be just a directory like the free, arb talk, yell type ones. where people have to find you in a directory then choose you over the other 100 listed in your area but i get texts with enquiries sent to my mobile.only six tree surgeons allowed per post coded area..been a member for 2 months ish now had 7 texts and 4 jobs have come of it. granted 2 small ones just conifer removals but the two large jobs have paid the £150 i paid for 6 months. they even did me a one page web site and manage it for 2 yrs in that price just for coming on board with them. i'd been quoted £350 with the domain name from a company...
  4. Hiya guys i use the tree contractors directory who are also part of local traders....i get messages sent to my mobile phone for the area that i am registered in. it works well for me!!!! they even set me up a one page website and host it for 2 years for free because i didnt have one. i even been giving afew jobs away in slough on here that they send me that i cant cover. ive had 5 enquiries and got 3 jobs from it....granted two small removals of small conifers but one oak full dismantle aswell. for £150 for six months its paid for itself already and ive only been with them about 8 weeks.

  6. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nYhixp7bXI]Berocca Log Rolling Lumberjacks advert - LogJam remix NOW available on iTUNES!!! - YouTube[/ame] see berroca........more than wings hahahaha
  7. National Trust To Launch Survey On Tree Avenues — Tree Contractors Directory. Qoute :"Members of staff as well volunteers from the general public will be trained in the collection of the data required, which will focus on such areas as the number and age of trees, species, spacing and their health." Members of the public deciding on tree health?????? any opinions?? what training will they be given?
  8. for a mega boost i normally have a cheapo energy drink with a berroca dropped in.......it gives me more than wings!!!
  9. Thanks Paul, and of course you are a little protective of your flock, they will retire one day you know!!!!!!!!!!! I don’t want to be the expert witness defendant for the national trust; I was thinking more of Tree Preservation Order applications, Tree inventory (gps) surveying & BS5837 planning application supporting documentation. In England, or Wales for that matter you would search on Google for “tree consultant” rather than “tree surgeon” , would you not? cheers
  10. OTISS - Online Tree Survey and Management System can be used on smart phone all data stored on the web £150.00 per year membership this might help??
  11. How much do you guys know about doing tree reports?? I was thinking of having a try at Tree Consultants Directory - Tree consultants, Tree consultancy, Arboriculture, Arborist, Tree survey, Tree report, Tree inspection, Tree advice, Tree work, BS5837, BS3998, Tree services, Treecare but i am a little nervous about putting a profile up I used to do tree assessment in New Zealand, but I am a little unsure of when you can say you are a consultant in the uk What is the definition of tree consultant in the UK apart from the professional indemnity for it
  12. I think this too may be an interesting case when it gets to court, I had not come across this sad death before, but it sounds like a procedural case rather than an actuality Conservation group charged over gardener's tree death - Edinburgh Evening News
  13. agree with you there steve.........i wanna be the middle seat haha
  14. cheers Paul, might have a look at doing it!
  15. Just seen this report about a new qualification as a European tree worker qualification Get ETW qualification at permanent training facility — Tree Contractors Directory. what do you guys think? is it a good idea?
  16. Taupo are you a kiwi, or a pom who lives out there now?
  17. thanks will try to find it on here
  18. Hi guys, I’ve just seen this, Child’s death ruled an accident following impact by National Trust fallen branch — Tree Contractors Directory and whilst it must be devastating for the parents of the children involved to have lost this case there seems to be a general acceptance now that life is not risk free and that no amount of tree surveying can guarantee a site being 100% safe. Although one has to ask the question did the tree surveyor know that school parties were being taken through the site, even on an ad hock basis?
  19. Choosing a reliable Japanese knotweed contractor is very important not sure if this site will help????
  20. after just coming back from living out there for 3 and a half years you may aswell sell them here and buy new ones out there as much cheaper.......i got into using shindawa in N.Z there real reliable and half the price of stihl.........people think there cheap chinese imports but there actually japanese forestry saws!!!! great work horse's. where abouts you moving to?
  21. heard a policeman on the radio this morning talking about his dismay at the courts!!!! he claims he arrested somebody last night with loot in his hands leaving a shop in liverpool....took him to a holding cell at 10pm taken into court at 7am and was horrified at his punishment... the judge gave him 1 days inprisonment which, as he had been in a cell overnight it was deemed that he had already done his 'time'. the copper was disgusted and felt that let down by the system he was considering handing his notice in on a 17yr career. it was on talk radio this morning!!!!!!!!!!
  22. seen some mystifying pohutakawa in N.Z aswell ae!!!!! them things are amazing and grom clinging to anything!
