"We know that the important things to you are competitive and transparent costs, reliability and above all, speed."
Rob Oates, Director
Last year, over two thousand people in almost every county of England and Wales relied upon our friendly, straight-talking specialists to deliver their arboricultural and ecological surveys. Each one of these clients, people just like you, enjoyed a 98% success rate at planning, after following our advice.
Since 2005, and now in our thirteenth year of trading, we've worked incredibly hard to shape a company that we think you'd actually like to do business with. We know that the important things to you are competitive and transparent costs, reliability and above all, speed, because those are exactly the same things that are important to us!
We are headquartered in Chester and have office locations in Birmingham and London, however the overwhelming majority of our surveys are undertaken by our ever-growing team of 'Arbtechers'; home-based, full-time and permanent employees geographically spread throughout most of England and Wales.
It's this office and home-based model that allows us to cover the majority of the UK for a fixed, published price, while building valuable relationships with clients and local authorities alike. It also means less travel and more family time for our consultants, too.
We've stuck to some simple principles that have helped us become the leading arboricultural and ecological consultants in the UK.
We realised a long time ago that setting ourselves the goal of being the number one career destination of choice for arboriculturists and ecologists was the path we needed to tread. It meant us putting our employees unequivocally before everything else, and in hindsight, it was definitely the right choice.
Completely flexible working hours, an unlimited continuing professional development budget and a flat management structure (no one is anyone's boss), regular outings and away days and letting our employees decide their own bonuses are just a few of the perks of working here, but really they're only part of a much wider and deeper culture.
Why do we do all of this? We do it for you. Because happy employees, truly happy ones, will move heaven and earth for you, our client, week in and week out, without the faintest grumble. Nothing is too much trouble for them. That's how we offer weekend survey appointments, next working day reports and on occasion, same day surveys and reports!
We are the nerds of nature, the grassland geeks, ecology evangelists, and the deans of dendrology... and we'd love to hear from you.
