🌳🤠 HOW TO SPOT A COWBOY 🤠🌳

Tree surgery is a dangerous business. You might think this statement is rather obvious, what with chainsaws, ropes and working at height being part and parcel of the profession, but more and more ‘cowboys’ are entering the market (and also the column inches of national newspapers when things go wrong…). This article aims to help you to sort that Stetson-wearing, horseshoe-throwing, tobacco-chewing cowboy from the professionals.

❓ Where do the cowboys come from?
There are always people out there that will look at a profession and despite a lack of training, qualifications or foundational knowledge, think they’ll ‘have a go’. But when money is tight, or employment prospects are low, or even when economic uncertainty is on the horizon, you’ll find more chancers coming out of the woodwork and more willingness from customers to choose their tree professionals based on price alone...

Good evening all, last Thursday it was great once again to return to our first ever tree surgeon clients who we have run level Three Emergency First Aid and Level Three Forestry First Aid Course since June 2013.

It's always a pleasure to return to Shenley in Hertfordshire to run the courses for Gristwood And Toms .

This time just the one day refresher training for the lads, who as ever did excellent on the course , an important part of their career as arborists.It was great to see them handling situations up the tree, James coming out with a rather extreme one of an amputation up a tree 🌲 - but bandaged up highly successfully.

Big thanks to Calvin and Joan for getting us in once again to do their training and also great to catch up with Andy Brightman the MD for a chat.

Good morning to you all, last Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday found us at Tadley, Hampshire running first aid training at another of our oldest clients Foremost Tree Surgeons Ltd .

Monday was spent taking the lads who had done the Level Three Emergency First Aid and Level Three Forestry First Aid course three years ago through refresher training so was great to catch up with them.

Tuesday it was the groundies going through the Level Three Emergency First Aid course, specifically for their job.

Finally on Wednesday it was the new arborists to the team to take them through the +F course of Which one of the many aspects is treatment of a spinal injury.

All the lads did excellent on the course and we wish the newbies all the best in their careers at Foremost.
