Experience & Qualifications
Experience
I have worked in the arboricultural industry since 1999. My previous company, Peacock Tree Ecology, achieved the highly coveted Arboricultural Association Approved Contractor accreditation.
This helped me develop a robust underlying practical knowledge of trees. As well as managing all business activities, such as health and safety, biosecurity, training and administration, I ran several tree-surgery teams.
More significantly, I regularly advised customers on tree management advice – a service that included tree consultancy and producing professional arboricultural reports.
In 2017 I decided to build on my experience and focus exclusively on arboricultural consultancy and gained a Level 6 Diploma in Arboriculture at the National Arboretum in Westonbirt.
Since qualifying I have worked closely with a wide range of professionals from property development & construction companies and local authorities to estate managers and large-property owners – as well as other arboriculturists and contractors – to solve problems and give specialist advice.
