I started working on Forestry Commission sites for my father when aged 19, this is where my love of trees began. 

​

In 1994 I trained to become a Climbing Arborist and soon after started my own Tree Surgery Business. 

​

I went on to study Arboriculture to a higher level gaining the Technicians Certificate in Arboriculture in 2003.  I then began running an Arboricultural Consultancy business alongside tree surgery.

​

In 2016 I purchased and trained to use the latest Tree Data Collection System developed by Pear Technology and set up an Independent Arboricultural Consultancy Company, taking a step back from Tree Surgery.

​

My continued professional development includes becoming QTRA registered in 2018, achieving Professional Tree Inspector certification in 2020, completing a Foundation Degree in Arboriculture with distinction, and becoming a Professional Member of the Arboricultural Association in 2022.

 

Most recently, I have completed a BSc (Hons) in Arboriculture and Urban Tree Management, further strengthening my technical and academic expertise.
