Meet the team

Neil has been actively involved in tree surgery since 1980.

First working for one of the largest tree companies in the country, carrying out contracts in Westminster, Richmond and many of the other London Boroughs and Home Counties.

When first starting tree work the Dutch Elm Disease was rife and spreading rapidly across the country and the idea of felling and burning on the spot was thought to be the only possible way of slowing down the onslaught of dying Elms. In hindsight this didn’t have much impact or effect at all. After 10 years working for this company Neil then then became a sole trader doing tree surgery for many domestic customers, and he built up some regular contracts with local schools and building contractors. In 2003 he decided to make the company Limited. This company has grown over the last 14 years employing more people and building a greater customer base

There has been many changes within the industry of tree surgery, one being the professionalism and over the last couple of decades Neil has with college training and various courses has instigated safe working practises within his company.

Neil still manages a hands on approach, and even though he is responsible for bringing in new contracts for the company he still enjoys a day on site and still climbs when needed.
