We are proud to announce that we will be running a FREE* workshop with Taylor Hamel in conjunction with DMM! To makes things even better - there will also be FREE pizza!

Taylor will be demonstrating advanced doubled rope techniques (DdRT) and the combination of doubled rope and stationary rope (SRT) systems for safe, efficient and confident work positioning and movement in trees.

*We have introduced a £10 charge for reserving your place. This will be reimbursed in the form of a £10 voucher to spend on DMM gear at TREEKIT. Because there are only limited places, we hope this nominal charge will prevent people from booking on but not turning up.

Nice, simple and easy to understand videos, thanks! With so many SRWP tools now available, with more on the way, a video of each using this same simple format, describing setup and use would be a real help for climbers trying to make a decision on which one to buy.

Thanks for the feedback. We will take this into consideration. We're hoping to release more videos in the near future!

Thanks guys. We are really interested in any ideas for future videos?

Winter Safety Seminars

Here at Treekit we are always trying to find new ways to make your lives easier. We know not all subjects are hip and exciting so we want to make some of those painful subjects just a little easier to swallow.

During the dark months of January and February why not come and join us for our series of Evening Safety Seminars? We’ll feed you and give you some food for thought at the same time:

Thursday 14th January: Risk Assessment - It’s really not so painful

Oliver Nixon: Christopher Hoare Tree Services Health and Safety Expert

Washed down with a beer and our renowned Shutler Baguette.

Thursday 28th January: “LOLER” – Equipment Inspections – Why? How? When?

Oliver Nixon: Christopher Hoare Tree Services Health and Safety Expert

Mike Storey: Treekit Director & LOLER Inspector

Easier to swallow with a beer, chicken soup & crusty bread.

Thursday 11th February: Keeping your kit safe – how to prevent it being stolen and what to do if it happens

Ben Hargreaves: Ben Hargreaves Arboriculture & Chief Inspector Force Incident Commander Dorset Police

A sore subject amongst some – so stay calm with a beer and a bowl of chilli.

Cost is £10 ex.VAT per session to include food and drinks. (Vegetarian and other dietary requirements happily catered for – just let us know.)

Meet at 17.30 for food and drinks, seminar starts promptly at 18.00 and finished by 20.00

Places are limited so book early to guarantee yours.
