Our people

The strength and depth of our knowledge about trees and how to best care for them is the foundation of our service. Our tree surgeons and consultants know trees inside out, quite literally. Whether you are a local authority, SME, or a global organisation, our experts will provide cost-effective solutions for your tree-related needs.

We have staff with unrivalled technical knowledge at a consultancy level within the organisation. Many are recognised as leaders in their specialist field. These members of staff typically hold professional qualifications such as Masters Degrees, BSc in Arboriculture, and Professional Diplomas.

Some have established major reputations in arboriculture research, nationally and internationally. They are advisers to many departments of central and local government and European Union institutions. They also have strong links with non-governmental organisations in Britain and overseas.
