Hi my name is Jack Mitchell and I am looking to get some experience under my belt as I want to be a tree surgeon so I'm looking for a job in or around Northfield Birmingham. I am used to outdoor work as I am currently working on my Aunty's farm in Ireland for the week. I am currently in year 11 so looking for a weekend job or volunteer position in any company's looking to take me on. Any offers will be much appreciated! Thanks in advance! Thanks

Hi all, thinking of making the leap from employed to free lance. Feel im good enough, just not sure if theres enough work out there to keep the wolf from the door. I'm based in birmingham and wouldn't mind traveling! Would love to hear from current free lancers, And of course companies actively looking for experienced climbers to help them on the odd job!!:biggrin:
