  11. Hello guys just wondering if anybody can help me out or guide me in the right direction really. Basically I'm a fully qualified arborist and I have also completed my nvq level 2 course at askham Bryan, unfortunately my 2 year contract has ended and I am looking to set up my own small business and hopefully over the year expand, basically I'm asking for advice on literally anything anybody can help me out with but mainly to do with laws and regulations as I'm aware of how the job runs but not so sure about the running of a business, any help appreciated. reading through i might not have made it clear that i have also had 2 years at a forestry & arb company learning off the "old boys" and also lads pretty new to the game (last 10 years). ___________________ measure twice, cut once
  12. never really thought about it if im honest its just the method they teach at nptc and the method the company im working at use. would like to find out more info on what i really need to be successfull, apart from a good work standard and the obvious. illl say again, any sort of help or advice anybody can bring to the table would be appreciated.
  13. I just want to get a rough idea to what I really need to be doing and what I can get away with not doing, what's wrong with a good old Blake hitch?
  14. Sorry about the poll I'm totally new to the site and didn't have a clue what it ment at all
