I've been offered a new website build and marketing help with ads etc from a company called AMP Arb Marketing Pros. Before I make a decision on them, I'm looking for some feedback from others who've heard of them or used them.

Has anyone here heard of Arb Marketing Pros? They keep hounding me. Their websites don't look as good as Steve's. Just wondering if anyone's ever heard of them?

2.5 years experience with local authority highway and woodland tree condition and safety inspection. Experience in Tree Report Writing, onsite surveying, customer facing roles. 12 years experience as an Arborist contractor and climber.

I rum a small arb firm near Chesterfield. I occasionally need a groundie for an extra hand on jobs. Work would be Ad Hoc only. Chainsaw ticket needed, some experience handy too. Get in touch if you're interested on 07967361704. Thanks Will

I went on an AA rum B5837 course just last week. It was good and went through the tree categorisation process but still some gaps to fill in terms of knowledge on impact statements and method statements etc.

Thanks that interesting to know. Yes I've been doing VTA risk assessment for council and my own side work for a couple of years. But I'd like to move into other tree surveying and bs5837 seems like a natural place to move to. Although I do see there's quite a bit to get familiar with. I think I'm going to try to start by offering my services to other arb companies as a field surveyor for the bs5837 only rather than doing the whole thing as I still need to learn a bit more.

Its for my own side hustle as council work is just risk assessment stuff and the pay is poor and opportunities for development limited. I've been running my own small time arb business for a few years and would like to expand into surveying now that I'm getting older. I found the download as suggested on West Berks site. Nice one, I really appreciate that as it will save me a lot of hassle. Now I just gotta print it off and spend some time reading through it.

Has anyone ever done any woth woth Enviro Trees here in UK as a Tree Partner, where you basically get work as a bona fide subcontractor? I would like to know whether they will rip me off or waste my time?

Thanks I'll check out West Berkshire website. Yes I felt the course left me with a lot still to learn. Was only 1 day I'm going to have to try to get involved with other arb surveyors and try to get some experience that way. I work as a tree inspector for a county council currently, but it's all just risk assessment, no planning stuff.

Thanks I have been googling. But I'm only just starting out with the bs5837, and the course that I spent £220 didn't cover it all. So considering I haven't got that work coming in yet, the thought of finding another £300 for the guide stings a bit. So looking to find it free/cheap somewhere. And I've been waiting for the revision and so had put off doing the course for the last 12 months but decided I needed to get moving on this so gave up waiting for them to get their act together.

So I did the Arb Association 1 day course for the BS5837:2012. But it didn't cover everything in the book, which means I'll need to get hold of the BSI guide. Its £300 to buy which is insane. Can anyone recommend anywhere else a copy can be found online?

Thanks, yeah maybe i could put one of those into the old lock slot and couple it with a chain.

Some advice please. I've just picked up an old TW125 for small jobs. The original towhitch lock is missing. Can anyone recommend a decent lock for locking onto tow ball while driving please?

Right so, I'm fed up with my current website host, they're terrible. And my website needs a proper redesign and SEO sorting out. But there's so much out there, promising the earth. Can anyone here recommend an honest Website/SEO company that will redesign my website, host it, or at least move mine somewhere better and optimise it for Google?

Hi guys. I'm starting to get offer tree surveying work, so I'll need to get my insurance sorted for this. Last time I got it a couple of years ago it cost me £500 for the year. Does that sound reasonable? Feels expensive especially when I may only pick up one or two of these types of jobs in a year.
